PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The energy and infrastructure sectors are also being damaged by climate change. As a landlocked country, Kazakhstan is heavily dependent on land transport infrastructure, which, due to its low population density, must cover a very large area. Inadequate cooling and low water levels caused by increased evaporation from rising temperatures, heat waves and limited rainfall during droughts can negatively affect energy production.

The main objective of the project is to integrate climate risks into development planning at the national and subnational levels and to ensure the implementation of step-by-step and transformational adaptation measures that strengthen Kazakhstan's resilience to climate change.

Stated objective of the project: IF the project establishes clear mandates, coordination mechanisms and standard procedures for adaptation to climate change in four priority sectors at the national and subnational levels through a multi-stakeholder process, and enhances the capacity of decision-makers from the public and private sectors to integrate adaptation into development planning, implementation of adaptation solutions, expanding access to climate services, information, maintenance Kazakhstan will be able to implement both phased and transformational adaptation measures, ultimately strengthening its resilience to climate change, BECAUSE the state, civil society and private sector entities in priority sectors will be aware of climate risks, will have an appropriate institutional framework, capacity and evidence base for adaptation planning, and opportunities to attract investment in adaptation.
