Отправные точки для вертикальной интеграции климатических действий в Казахстане

The document examines how Kazakhstan can vertically integrate climate action by linking national strategic documents and subnational development programs. It highlights the role of the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of National Economy in coordinating these efforts, while emphasizing the need for improved climate information, systematic risk and vulnerability assessments (RVA), and capacity building for local authorities. The report proposes specific mechanisms to embed climate risks into regional development planning and suggests a 'training of trainers' model to sustain methodological expertise.

• Subnational executive authorities in Kazakhstan face three primary obstacles when attempting climate adaptation planning: gathering data on climate trends and future scenarios, lacking the capacity to conduct comprehensive risk and vulnerability assessments (RVA) and prioritize measures, and securing budget access for implementation.
• Kazhydromet provides climate data, including annual monitoring bulletins and future scenarios based on 21 global climate models (CMIP5) downscaled to 25x25 km resolution, though absolute value maps for current climate states must be purchased separately.
• Kazakhstan lacks institutions that systematically perform climate risk and vulnerability assessments; such tasks are typically outsourced to international experts. While expert knowledge of specific systems exists in research bodies and ministries, there is a shortage of methodological knowledge on how to practically conduct RVAs.
• The Ministry of Energy is the lead agency for greenhouse gas emission reduction and climate adaptation, coordinating with other ministries and managing international obligations. It is currently working with USAID to amend the Environmental Code to clarify responsibilities across the eight-step adaptation process, from data collection to plan adjustment.
• The report proposes two primary entry points for vertical integration: integrating adaptation into first-level national strategic documents (such as the Sustainable Development Goals process and the updated 'Green Economy' concept) and incorporating climate risks into subnational development programs coordinated by the Ministry of National Economy.
• To integrate climate action into subnational development programs, the report suggests two options for the Ministry of National Economy: requiring sectoral departments to address climate threats and opportunities within their SWOT analyses, or introducing a quantitative indicator (e.g., a specific percentage of the budget) dedicated to climate-responsive measures.
• The report recommends a capacity-building framework where national research institutes conduct RVAs for priority sectors (agriculture, forestry, water supply, disaster risk reduction, and healthcare), while subnational departments select and prioritize adaptation options based on that data. To ensure sustainability, a 'training of trainers' (ToT) approach is proposed, potentially utilizing the Academy of Public Administration under the President of the RK.
