At the enlarged meeting of the parliamentary commission for monitoring the implementation of national goals and objectives in the field of Sustainable Development, Deputy Prime Minister-Minister of national economy Nurlan Baibazarov presented the interim results of Kazakhstan's efforts to achieve the SDGs over the past 10 years.

According to the SDG Index Global Sustainable Development rating, over the past five years, the Kazakhstan index has reached about 71 points. According to the results of 2024, Kazakhstan took 66th place out of 167 countries in the ranking.

Deputy prime minister noted that Kazakhstan has created a solid institutional framework for the effective implementation of the SDGs. There is a Coordinating Council for the SDGs and a committee for monitoring the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals.

The government has taken measures to integrate, taking into account the definition of goals in the main strategic documents of the country, including regional development documents. Thanks to this, systematic work is underway to develop priority areas of health care, education, science, ecology, entrepreneurship, etc.

Kazakhstan continues to implement measures to decarbonize the economy within the framework of the Paris Agreement. In 2023, the strategy for achieving carbon neutrality until 2060 was approved. This is an important step in the fight against climate change.

In 2025, at the UN High-Level Political Forum, Kazakhstan will present the third Voluntary National Review, which will focus on defining SDGs in the regions, gender equality and youth policy.
