Focus on sustainable development

One of the key trends of modern development is the focus on sustainable development, which implies harmonious development in terms of environmental, social and economic components.

⠀

The global community is focused on the "green" transformation of economic processes with an eye to environmental friendliness.

⠀

In 2020, the main theme of the World Economic Forum in Davos was the environment and the whole range of related issues.

⠀

⠀

Kazakhstan's focus on creating an environmentally-oriented economy is enshrined in the concept of transition of the Republic of Kazakhstan to a "green economy" approved in 2013.

⠀

A number of laws and regulations were adopted (on energy saving and energy efficiency, support for renewable energy sources, etc.) in order to implement the ambitious goals of the concept. Economic incentive mechanisms and tools are also used.

⠀

We will discuss the relevance of the fight against climate change in the context of implementing the SDGs, introduction of innovative technologies in environmental and health protection, and clean water and sanitation in general in a flash session with youth leaders.
