“We are encouraged to see a wide range of policies that will set the tone for Kazakhstan’s transformation in the years ahead, and by the country’s clear ambition to reach carbon neutrality by 2060. Progress in developing the country’s net zero goals has been impressive – Kazakhstan was the first country in Central Asia to establish a national Emissions Trading Scheme to put a price on carbon. Earlier this year, the country also adopted a new Environmental Code to accelerate the shift to sustainable practices.  

"A key enabler of Kazakhstan’s transition to net zero over the next decades will be digitalization. We welcome Kazakhstan’s efforts to place digital growth at the heart of the country’s vision for the future. Over the years, Kazakhstan has taken digital transformation to a new level, investing heavily in new ‘smart city’ technologies to improve and automate city services and urban life. The country has succeeded in establishing an innovative digital ecosystem in Central Asia that has been reinforced by the creation of the Astana International Financial Centre and the Astana Hub, home to several hundreds of tech companies that enjoy preferential tax status. 

"Underlying this technological transformation has been Kazakhstan’s commitment to digital learning solutions, designed to catalyse over 100,000 IT specialists to develop technical skills that are integral to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The shift to digital learning opportunities has also been reflected in Kazakhstan’s approach to education – with plans to create 1000 new schools, the country’s commitment to upskilling youth will be key to creating an inclusive and sustainable economy of the future.”
