Expected Results
Regional: 1) The 2022 Summer School on Sustainable Infrastructure took place in Kyrgyzstan from 21-23 September 2022 and gathered a group of selected policy makers from national development and planning authorities and sectoral ministries and agencies from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan as well as international experts on sustainable infrastructure. 2) In September 2024, the UCA organised the SIPA Summer School in Astana, which was attended by national development and planning authorities and sectoral ministries and agencies from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, as well as international experts on sustainable infrastructure. The event focussed on promoting green finance (especially green bonds) for the development of sustainable infrastructure, responsible business practices, the adaptation of low-carbon technologies in hard-to-degrade industries and the link between water and hydrogen. 3) The International Transport Forum's (ITF) regional study on decarbonisation and connectivity in freight transport in Central Asia was presented on 11 and 12 March 2025. The study for Southeast Asia is to be presented on 24 and 25 April 2025. Kazakhstan: 1) The project provided analytical inputs on the Just Transition and international standards in the context of the development of the national strategy to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, which was adopted by presidential decree in February 2023. 2) In November 2024, the project supported the Ministry of National Economy in developing a roadmap to achieve Kazakhstan's carbon neutrality target by 2060 with tailored recommendations. Uzbekistan: 1) The project aims to support the development and implementation of a long-term emissions reduction strategy in the country. Sectoral activities in Uzbekistan are focussed on energy and transport. IISD is developing a pilot assessment of the environmental, social and economic sustainability of a high-impact infrastructure project. 2) In July 2024, the report ‘Financing Uzbekistan's Green Transition’ was published, with recommendations to the Ministry of Economy and Finance and other key stakeholders for the further development of the capital market in Uzbekistan and opportunities for green bond issuance as part of the transition to sustainable infrastructure.
