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.
