The Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan has signed a memorandum of cooperation with ORMEX and Chapter Zero Kazakhstan to adapt international standards for calculating carbon credits in the agricultural sector of the country.ORMEX applies an innovative ecosystem regenerative farming (ERA) methodology and uses blockchain to account for carbon credits. This project will be one of the first in the field of carbon removal implemented within the framework of the updated Nationally Defined Contribution of Kazakhstan (NDC 3.0). It is expected to make a significant contribution to achieving the national target of reducing emissions by 15% by 2030 from 1990 levels. The project will capture and store carbon in soils, which will help Kazakhstan get closer to its goal of reducing carbon emissions by 25 million tons under current commitments."This Memorandum highlights the importance of cross-sectoral cooperation in addressing climate change issues. By integrating sustainability into agriculture, we can create a model for other industries and regions, guaranteeing a sustainable future for Kazakhstan," said Sabit Mukhanov, CEO of Chapter Zero KazakhstanBy integrating ORMEX methodologies and Chapter Zero Kazakhstan's expertise in climate management, the initiative aims to position Kazakhstan as a regional leader in regenerative agriculture and carbon management.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/ecogeo/press/news/details/883519

During a working detour of the Alatau district, Akim of Almaty Yerbolat Dosayev got acquainted with the results of work on cleaning Lake Karasu.Residents of the eponymous microdistrict asked the mayor of the city to put Lake Karasu in order. On behalf of Yerbolat Dosayev, a corresponding project was developed and coordinated with the Balkhash-Alakol Basin Inspectorate.The contractor, TOLAGAI–2050 LLP, started mechanical cleaning of the reservoir in March 2023 and was supposed to be completed by September. The deadline for the completion of the project had to be postponed to August of this year, due to the fact that the thickness of the bottom silt turned out to be several times greater than expected during the design (100-120 cm instead of 30 cm). In addition, the timing was affected by the need to build a temporary road along the bottom of the lake for the passage of heavy equipment. Initially, it was planned to carry out cleaning in winter, when the ground freezes.After the completion of the work on cleaning the lake, the temporary road was removed along with the silt. It should be noted that such work was carried out for the first time in the entire existence of the pond. As a result, 53 tons of waste and 10 thousand cubic meters of silt deposits were removed from the bottom of the lake. At the same time, spillway structures were built to regulate the water level and prevent its overflow over the banks.The project allowed to solve a number of problems that the townspeople complained about, first of all, thanks to the cleaning, the ecological balance of the water area and the biodiversity of the reservoir will be restored. The lake will again be comfortable for the residents of the neighborhood and will become a point of attraction for all citizens and guests of the city.During the detour, residents of the Karasu microdistrict, thanking for the work done to clean up the lake, asked the head of the city to build a pedestrian zone around the reservoir. To this, Mayor of Almaty Yerbolat Dosayev replied that on his behalf, an improvement project will be developed, which will take into account requests for the construction of walking and active areas for sports.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/883394

During a working detour of the Alatau district, Akim of Almaty Yerbolat Dosayev got acquainted with the progress of landscaping of the park on Baganaly Orda Street in the MKR. Karasu.The project was implemented under the program "Budget of public participation". The construction of a new 800 m long walking area between Moyldy and Kalambayev Streets began in July this year and will be completed next month. It became a continuation of the 400-meter strip repaired last year between Shayakhmetov and Moyildy streets. Thus, a single walking area with a length of 1200 m has been created.To implement the project, the area overgrown with weeds and thorns was cleared, leveled, paved with asphalt and paving stones. Landscaping was carried out on an area of 55.4 thousand square meters with a 950 m automatic irrigation system. 150 lanterns, benches and urns are also installed for the convenience of residents. The total area of the renovated territory was 6.5 hectares.After reviewing the work done, the Mayor of Almaty stressed the need for timely completion of the project, as well as the planting of large-sized trees. He also noted the contribution of residents to the development of public spaces."Your caring attitude and activity help the akimat of the district and the city to direct funds for landscaping and creation of comfortable green areas. By participating in the Budget of People's Participation program and offering your projects, you make your significant contribution to the prosperity of our beloved city," Yerbolat Dosayev said, urging citizens to maintain order in the renovated territories and educate children with a sense of respect and respect for urban spaces.Residents expressed gratitude to the mayor of the city for the transformed space."Now we walk here with our families, meet with friends and spend time usefully.

During a working detour of the Zhetysu district, Akim of Almaty Yerbolat Dosayev inspected the bridge under construction across the Yesentai River in the Kemel microdistrict. Earlier, on behalf of the head of the megalopolis, traffic on the bridge was closed due to its emergency condition.A technical inspection of the bridge structure, built in the 1960s, carried out in June, revealed partial destruction of concrete structures, the appearance of cracks on the bridge supports, the absence of a deformation seam, and more. In this regard, it was decided to build a new bridge as part of the emergency.Initially, it was planned to open traffic for transport at the end of October. However, due to the structure of the soil, it became necessary to install 29-meter bored piles instead of the planned 9-meter ones. In addition, during the preparation of the foundation for special equipment, the pedestrian part of the bridge collapsed in the riverbed. This part was supposed to be dismantled after the new bridge was built, but due to the collapse, it had to be disassembled earlier. Thus, the deadlines for the execution of the work were shifted.As the head of the Department of Urban Mobility Sagyndyk Telibayev reported to the head of the city, work has been carried out on the installation and testing of piles, the installation of supports, retaining walls, the installation of beams and the reconstruction of engineering networks. The facility was also tested.As a result of the reconstruction, the length of the bridge will be increased from 16.8 to 33 meters, and the width from 8.5 to 14.5 meters. In addition, it is planned to install sidewalks of 1.5 m on both sides."The bridge provides transport connectivity for residents of several neighborhoods and nearby villages. This is an important infrastructure facility, so the construction was carried out as soon as possible. Geology revealed the instability of the soils, so it was decided to install piles to a depth of almost 30 meters, and the bridge was also doubled in length. The main amount of work has been completed, the movement must be opened by the end of next week and then work on the pedestrian part and the surrounding area will be completed," Yerbolat Dosayev said.It should be recalled that until the completion of repair work on the construction of a new bridge, a detour of the specified section is provided through Mukhamedzhan Seralin Street.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/almaty/press/news/details/883415
