Kazakhstan and Japan are expanding cooperation in green energy and emissions reduction, 24KZ reports.
The parties agreed to more actively develop joint projects and attract Japanese investment and environmental technologies. Particular attention was paid to the JCM joint lending mechanism, which enables the implementation of emission reduction projects using advanced Japanese technologies. A legislative framework for such projects is also being created in Kazakhstan.
On September 8, a law on environmental issues and the improvement of individual economic sectors came into force. The document establishes the possibilities for the application of international carbon mechanisms within the framework of the Paris Agreement.
The talks took place at a meeting between Kazakhstan's Vice Minister of Energy, Marat Oshurbayev, and Japan's Vice Minister of Economy, Trade, and Industry, Kenji Yamada.
