BTR 1 also contains information on the impacts of climate change and adaptation and financial support for technology development and transfer and capacity building.The development of BTR1 was implemented by UNDP in cooperation with Zhasyl Damu JSC within the framework of the GEF international project "Preparation of the 9th National Communication and the first and second BTR".The main part of BTR1 is the National Report on the Inventory of anthropogenic emissions from sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases, prepared by JSC Zhasyl Damu.For more information, please visit the website of the UNFCCC Secretariat.https://unfccc.int/first-biennial-transparency-reports Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/ecogeo/press/news/details/885027

Within the framework of the Taza Kazakhstan concept, Almaty showed the readiness of municipal equipment for the winter period. To increase the efficiency and efficiency of harvesting operations in the city, the park of specialized equipment has been updated. This year, 32 units of modern equipment have been purchased, which will provide high-quality maintenance of urban infrastructure in winter.Among the new equipment are six sweepers with a system for simultaneously loading garbage into containers through a conveyor. These machines significantly increase work efficiency by providing fast and high-quality removal of snow and debris from city streets. Five electric sweepers have also been purchased, which operate with a minimum noise level, which allows cleaning at night without disturbing the peace of the townspeople.In addition, the fleet of special equipment includes three dispensers of liquid reagents that will effectively combat ice. These machines ensure an even distribution of reagents on the road surface, which significantly increases safety on city streets in winter. An important addition were two sewage disposal machines for pumping meltwater, which will help to avoid flooding and improve drainage in the city after snowmelt.Yertay Kasenov, Deputy Director of the State Enterprise "Almaty Tazalyk", noted that the cleaning work in the city is being improved. "For the comprehensive cleaning of urban roads, 10 combined road vehicles have also been purchased, which will ensure the full maintenance of the road network in winter, as well as six tractors designed to clean sidewalks and adjacent territories from snow and ice," he said.The park of special equipment of the State Enterprise "Almaty Tazalyk" is updated annually. This is an important part of the company's activities aimed at improving the quality of work and increasing productivity in winter. So, in 2025, it is planned to purchase 123 units of special equipment, including combined road vehicles, dump trucks, garbage trucks, tractors for cleaning sidewalks, cranes with manipulators and Jetbroom snowplows, which will ensure even higher quality of cleaning and safety on the city's roads.Specialists of the enterprise, who manage special equipment, note that it has become much more convenient to work with new equipment. "Previously, it took us more time to clean one street, now, thanks to maneuverability and an increase in the number of vehicles, we are coping with our task faster. It is convenient for the citizens," says one of the drivers of special equipment."Nowadays, everything depends on how modern and multifunctional the equipment is. Almaty is probably at the forefront in this regard. You walk along Panfilov and other squares and see how small cars are cleaned like robots," Simbat Baybazarova, a resident of Almaly district, shared her opinion."Of course, there is nowhere without manual labor, but productivity is a technique. Now cars can do anything. Previously, I had only seen such equipment in commercials, but now we have a lot of them in our city. And most importantly, how vacuum cleaner robots do everything straight, cleanly, and noiselessly, and without emissions, many of them are electric," Anna Listopadnyaya, another resident of the Bostandyk district, added in the survey.For effective maintenance of Almaty in the winter period of 2024-2025, 841 units of equipment and 1,405 road workers will work on the streets of the city. This will ensure timely cleaning of snow and ice, the prevention of ice, as well as the elimination of other winter problems on roads and sidewalks.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/884971
