From 20:30 to 21:30, the Earth Hour International Environmental Action took place to draw attention to the need for a responsible attitude to nature and the resources of the planet. This year, Earth Hour in Kazakhstan is dedicated to the theme of nature conservation in the country.
At the largest Forum in Central Asia on waste management and recycling, “Green Energy & Waste Recycling” (GEWR), the ideas, successful experiences, and the best technologies for disposal and recycling of industrial and consumer wastes were discussed. The main goal of the Forum is to exchange experiences and build a platform for future cooperation to implement the green economy concept. One of the important moments at the Forum was the presentation of the Concept for the Development of Environmental Culture for 2024-2029, aimed at raising public awareness about proper waste management.
“In today’s world, addressing the pressing issue of climate change has become a priority. At the beginning of 2023, we became participants in the UN Global Compact, and we also received a very high ESG rating, which was noted at the Forum,” said Svetlana Satanova, Environmental Protection Manager at West Dala LLP.
Representatives of government bodies, natural resource companies, industry and specialized associations, agencies, experts, and mass media attended the GEWR Forum. According to the Forum participants, all the relevant issues raised during the discussions will be considered when making long-term decisions.
