The International Green Technologies and Investment Projects Center, with the support of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan, plans to conduct a series of trainings on the implementation of green projects through green financing mechanisms.
The trainings are conducted within the framework of the Readiness project «Further strengthening of Kazakhstan’s programming capacity, institutional support for expanding direct access to the Green Climate Fund and the development of a «green finance» system.
The trainings are aimed at providing participants with the knowledge and experience necessary to gain access to and use the opportunities of “green” financing.
All of this includes a comprehensive understanding of financial instruments, mechanisms, and regulatory frameworks related to energy conservation, renewable energy sources, and agriculture.
The main participants of the trainings are key representatives of the industrial and agricultural sectors, as these are the most important areas for implementing green finance solutions and achieving national climate goals.
The industrial sector will involve stakeholders from energy, manufacturing, and industry, with a particular focus on those who influence manufacturing and sustainability initiatives.
From agriculture, the participants of the trainings will be representatives of agribusiness, agricultural cooperatives and relevant regional associations that form and guide sustainable practices.
Non-governmental organizations involved in the implementation of green projects are also invited. As you know, NGOs today act as intermediaries between the private sector, government agencies and international institutions, helping to attract financial resources and disseminate best practices.
Expected results from the five trainings:
- Enhanced knowledge of financial instruments and green financing mechanisms, including the Green Climate Fund and other opportunities.
- Practical application of skills in developing proposals for environmental projects, even in conditions of limited infrastructure or political support.
- Expanding opportunities for interaction with the regulatory framework and the implementation of projects in the field of renewable energy, agriculture and other sectors.
- Collaborating with stakeholders and building institutional capacity to encourage the adoption of environmentally friendly technologies.
In addition, during the trainings, proposals, various barriers and recommendations of participants on the further implementation of green projects in Kazakhstan will be discussed.
The trainings will be held in Petropavlovsk (December 18), Kokshetau (December 19), Kostanay (December 20), Almaty (December 24) and Taldykorgan (December 25).
