On December 5, 2024, Zhasyl Damu JSC hosted a seminar on the main issues and provisions of national climate reporting in the format of the national report of the Republic of Kazakhstan on the inventory of anthropogenic emissions from sources and sinks of greenhouse gases not regulated by the Montreal Protocol 1990-2022.In the modern era, the problem of climate change is becoming a global crisis. Resolving the issue is becoming an indispensable part of the strategy for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, the main focus of which is aimed at improving human well-being and the security of our planet.According to the results of the UN report on achieving the Sustainable Development Goals in 2023, Kazakhstan took 66th place among 166 countries, scoring 71.6 points out of 100. This marks an improvement over the previous year (2022 – 71.1 points).In addition, the Biannual Transparency Report developed by Zhasyl Damu JSC turned out to be the best. The main part of BTR1 is the National Inventory Report on Anthropogenic Emissions from Sources and Removals by sinks of Greenhouse Gases.The opening of this seminar was attended by Vice Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan Mansur Oshurbayev, expert on climate policy of UNDP in Kazakhstan Gulmira Sergazina, as well as the management of JSC Zhasyl Damu. The moderator of the seminar is Ayman Yessekina, Director of the Greenhouse Gas Inventory Department of Zhasyl Damu JSC.This seminar was organized following the presentation of the First Biennial Transparency Report of the Republic of Kazakhstan (BTR1) to the UNFCCC Secretariat, developed by the United Nations Development Program in Kazakhstan and JSC Zhasyl Damu within the framework of the project "The First biennial Report and the joint Ninth National Communication and the Second Biennial Transparency Report of the Republic of Kazakhstan within the framework of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change."BTR1 contains mandatory information on the national greenhouse gas inventory and progress in the implementation of the ONUV (nationally determined contribution). The preparation of information on the national inventory of greenhouse gases is carried out by JSC Zhasyl Damu, which is the operator of the carbon trading system of the Republic of Kazakhstan.For reference: Emissions that contribute to the effects of greenhouse gases are ozone with a water vapor content of 36-72, carbon dioxide 9-26, methane 4-9 and percent 3-7. Some greenhouse emissions resulting from natural processes include ozone, nitric oxide, methane, carbon dioxide and water vapor. After the addition of anthropogenic additives, the throughput is exceeded and the natural balance is disrupted, so that global warming and climate change occur.The seminar discussed calculations of greenhouse gas emissions in economic sectors: the energy sector, which includes the oil and gas industry and transport; industrial processes and product use; agriculture; forestry, other land uses and the waste sector.

On December 5, 2024, a round table was held in Almaty with the participation of representatives of the Ministry of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan, the leadership of the PetroMining Association and 60 subsoil user companies.The meeting discussed problematic issues of the oil and gas industry, including the digitalization of some of the Ministry's business processes and the implementation of the Presidential Decree "On measures to liberalize the economy."At the moment, the Ministry is working on amendments to the orders of the Minister of Energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Approval of the Rules for the formation of an oil supply schedule" No. 191 dated May 17, 2018 and "On Approval of the Rules for the formation of an oil transportation schedule through main oil pipelines" No. 276 dated April 8, 2015.The changes and additions relate to the digital platform being developed according to the oil supply schedule.The goal is to create a single digital space for effective planning of oil supplies, as well as to simplify the submission and approval of applications and increase the efficiency of interaction between all participants.Thus, the project being developed will make it possible to digitize the Ministry's function of forming an oil supply schedule, and increase the transparency and transparency of this function.Subsoil users actively raised issues of overflows and "gray" exports of fuels and lubricants to neighboring countries. It is known that due to the serious disparity in prices of Kazakhstani fuels and lubricants in neighboring countries from 17 to 170% and, consequently, overflows and "gray" exports, stocks of "national" AI-92 gasoline and diesel fuel are significantly decreasing (according to various estimates from 10 to 45 thousand tons/month).The organizers and participants summed up the results of the meeting, noting the constructiveness of the "live" dialogue and agreed on further joint cooperation on issues of the oil and gas industry.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/energo/press/news/details/897452

As part of the pilot project on the use of taxi aggregators in the provision of invataxi services for people with special needs, initiated by the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of the Republic of Kazakhstan (hereinafter – MTSZN) last year, as of December 1, 2024, 179.6 thousand people received this service in Astana and Almaty.Recall that by the end of 2023, people with disabilities used invataxi services 53.9 thousand times.As previously reported, the Ministry of Health, together with the akimats, decided to change the mechanism for providing invataxi services in order to improve its quality and speed of delivery, since there are a number of conditions according to current standards. For example, citizens need to make an appointment by phone the day before receiving the service, which forces them to plan their trips in advance, wait for the delivery of invataxi, there is a shortage of vehicles to provide invataxi services, etc.To simplify the conditions, a pilot project was initiated to involve taxi aggregators in the provision of this service, who received a corresponding request for participation.An important condition was the absence of interest on the payment of trips, which are usually deducted in favor of aggregator platforms. Yandex has expressed a desire to participate in the pilot project free of charge.As part of the pilot, citizens can book trips in passenger cars as part of invataxi through the Yandex Go mobile application. This allows you to quickly select a car for the recipient of the service, track the status of the order online and monitor the trips made. The accessibility screen has been launched in this application so that people with disabilities can warn the driver about special wishes on the trip. In turn, drivers receive special instructions – for example, how to help a person with getting in and out of a car.At the first stage, a focus group of people with disabilities (hereinafter referred to as LSI) from the cities of Astana and Almaty participates in the pilot project.In 2024, the project will continue, and in the future, the provision of services in a new format is planned to be expanded to other LSI groups and scaled to all regions of the country.Source : https://www.gov.kz/memleket/entities/enbek/press/news/details/897464

One of the first and important steps was the adoption in 2019 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On the status of a teacher", which settled issues related to reducing the burden on teachers, freeing them from unnecessary functions, as well as establishing new incentives. The main mission of this film is to show that a teacher is not just a profession, but a real vocation, a mission. I hope that it will serve as an important reason for a deep understanding of the role of a teacher in society and will become a guide for young teachers, helping them realize their responsibility and inspiring further development in the profession," the minister concluded.The author of the idea for the film "Ustaz" is Beisen Kuranbek, the screenwriter is Gulmira Zerbai. The roles in the film were performed by actors of the Zhetysu regional Drama Theater and the poetry theater of the Palace of Schoolchildren.
