At the meeting, the key measures taken to improve the environmental situation in the region were announced. Also about the current achievements and plans aimed at sustainable development and improvement of the environmental situation in Almaty.
As part of the implementation of the message of the President of Kazakhstan, the installation of automated emission control systems continues in Almaty. At the moment, four large enterprises of the city (AlES CHP-1 JSC, CHP-2, ZTK, Almatyteplokommunenergo LLP) must connect to the system. Two of them are already transmitting data, CHP-2 will complete the installation by the end of the year. The problem with the connection of Almatyteplokommunenergo LLP is due to the lack of financing.
Another important initiative is the greening of the city. In accordance with the instructions of the President, 970.8 million seedlings were planted throughout the country in 2023, including 224 thousand trees in Almaty. Almaty continues to struggle with high levels of air pollution, in particular from large energy enterprises.
One of the urgent issues is waste management in the city. There are 21 garbage collection organizations actively operating in Almaty. In 2024, 445 thousand tons of solid household waste were generated, 11% were recycled. 7 out of 9 unauthorized landfills have been eliminated in the city, and work continues to improve waste management infrastructure. In addition, KZ Recycling LLP plans to implement a waste paper recycling project with a capacity of 150 thousand tons per year, which can significantly affect the solution of the waste problem.
Also, in order to reduce pollution from motor vehicles, a phased ban on the use of diesel fuel in urban transport has been introduced in Almaty. By the end of 2025, a complete transition to environmentally friendly modes of transport is planned. In 2024, 346 new gas buses, 62 trolleybuses and 69 electric buses were purchased.
The chatbot "Taza Kazakhstan" has become an important tool for increasing the involvement of citizens in solving environmental issues. Through it, residents of the republic can submit applications on environmental issues. At the moment, 2,386 applications have been registered, of which 2009 have already been executed. The main complaints relate to cleaning of the territory, street lighting and landscaping.
The Ministry of Ecology continues to actively work to improve the environmental situation in the regions. The introduction of new technologies, infrastructure development and improved interaction with citizens contribute to the creation of a more sustainable and healthy environment for all residents of the city.
