The Prospects of Development of Green Economy in the Republic of Kazakhstan

At the moment of the ecological situation in Kazakhstan is adverse and requires cardinal changes. The analysis which is carried out in a research showed that serve as major factors of degradation of the environment in the republic prevalence in economy of the resource-intensive and polluting the environment industries in structure of industrial production, high degree of wear of fixed assets, rather low efficiency rate of use of resources and production in general owing to the low technological level of economy, obviously insufficient development of the ecological market, and also a problem of the Kazakhstan nature protection policy. The critical situation in the sphere of environmental protection is in many respects connected with national environmental policy to which main shortcomings it is possible to refer lack of ecological priorities in economic strategy, weak ecological government, problems in the legislative sphere, lack of complex system of the state environmental monitoring, low level of financing of nature protection actions, weak innovative activity in nature protection area, the low level of attention to ecological culture of the population and some other.
