Problems of Decarbonization of the Economy of Kazakhstan

In this article, we consider the modern trends of global warming, GHG pollutions, and discuss the obligations of developed and developing countries before the UN Global Climate Summit in Paris. The article considers decarbonization as a national strategy, including complex tools for the improvement of energy efficiency, reduction of CO2 and development of emissions trading systems. The author underlines that the Central Asian countries such as Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, have the largest GHG potential in the region, and for this reason, they should be within the framework of the UNFCCC and join the international process on development of the national decarbonization strategies. These measures allow these countries to join the global carbon trade marketing, international financial recourses, and significantly reduce CO2 pollutions in the region.
