Environment and Climate Change. NATURAL SCIENCES
Environment and Climate Change. Environmental issues are important for all selected value chains. The manufacture of ARV APIs is particularly unclean, producing roughly 100 kg of toxic and hazardous waste per 1 kg of final product, and fill and finish procedures also produce plastic and chemical waste. The production of Covid-19-relevant medical and pharmaceutical products can cause chemical waste, the use of the products can produce potentially infectious medical waste. Safe and environmentally acceptable disposal of the waste is costly. For the leather value chain, the water treatment and the waste disposal have been and are still critical issues. The investment and operating costs of water treatment could have an effect on the sustainability of processing units. The drive for innovation and process optimisation is crucial for developing the technologies and practices for cleaner production, for sound resource management and for reducing waste and pollution. Effluent treatment plants are becoming more effective and efficient in order to meet desired environmental standards. Simpler and more cost-effective methods are now available which use less water and more efficiently utilize better tanning chemicals. Enterprises have much to gain from aligning their activities to national development priorities and integrating sustainability in its corporate strategies and operations. The Action will promote enterprises and SMEs in particular to make these moves (within Sub-Results 2.1.3, 2.2.3 and 3.3) on green and clean industries and environmental sustainability policies (in cooperation with Component 1) through incentives and targeted support to private industries. It becomes particularly important to ensure that specialised knowledge and assistance is brought to domestic businesses and industries, in order to enhance their capability to comply with such standards. Technology transfer and the sharing of best practice from large-scale businesses, academic and research institutions and the public sector is one important form that such support can take. This results in a lower discharge of water and fewer solids in discharge effluents. Harmful chemicals are being continuously replaced with environmentally friendly substitutes, or recycled through the application of new technologies. An in-depth environmental and climate adaptation/ mitigation analysis will be done during the inception phase as part of the RVC analysis 5 Risks and Assumptions Risks Risk level (H/M/L) Mitigating measures

Environment and Climate Change. In December 2019, the European Commission presented the European Green Deal, a roadmap for making the EU’s economy sustainable by turning climate and environmental challenges into opportunities across all policy areas and making the transition just and inclusive for all. The EU is very supportive of Kazakhstan’s transition to a Green Economy Model. The EU and Kazakhstan has held a three- day workshop on Climate Action to discuss the potential for cooperation in the context of implementing the climate chapter of the EPCA. The workshop helped both sides to gain a broader mutual understanding of respective climate policies and for Kazakhstan to further develop its national policy framework in line with international commitments under the Paris Agreement and the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer. In EU bilateral dialogue with Kazakhstan, the issues related to water management, integration of environment into other sectors and transition to Green and Circular economy are the main priorities. Kazakhstan is an active member of the EU-Central Asia Working Group on Environment and Climate Change organised under the EU- Central Asia Platform for Environment and Water Co-operation. The last meeting of this group was held in Brussels on 12-13 February 2020. The entry into force of the EPCA will enable the EU and Kazakhstan to develop and strengthen their cooperation on environmental issues, thereby contributing to sustainable development and good governance in environmental protection (Article 212). The EU and Kazakhstan shall develop and strengthen their cooperation to combat and to adapt to climate change (Article 215). Cooperation in the area of energy including hydrocarbon energy, renewable energy sources and energy efficiency and energy savings has already been provisionally applied (Chapter 5). Kazakhstan’s oil and uranium exports are important to the European Union and make a positive contribution to the continent’s energy diversification. Kazakhstan supplies around 6% of EU oil demand and meets more than 21% of the EU uranium demand. The EU welcomes Kazakhstan’s commitment to promote a low-carbon energy system, in particular the ambitious target of generating 50% of electricity from low-carbon sources by 2050. The EPCA provides opportunities for cooperation with the EU in sectors such as renewable energy and energy efficiency. The newly established Auctions mechanism, launched in May 2018, was a major step forward for Kazakhstan’s re...
