| Title | Evaluating Kazakhstan's Transition to a "Green Economy": An assessment of Energy Transition as a National Security Issue |
| Summary | In order to enter the top 30 developed countries of the world, the Republic of Kazakhstan introduced the “Concept for transition to a green economy” in the year of 2013. The project has been implemented only in 2015 and considers lasting until 2050. Aiming to diversify the economy towards sustainable development using alternative sources of energy, reforming agricultural and industrial sectors and implementing water management plan, Kazakhstan wants to become a leader of promoting the green economy and sustainable development among the biggest GHG emitters. However, Kazakhstan‟s approach seems too ambitious at the current state, considering that country‟s dependence on fossil fuels is still serving as a major part of the economy and national security issue. This thesis will analyze an inventory of major outputs related to an implementation of the transition to a green economy and assess the overlap between the transition concept and energy development in a context of national security policies. |
