Kazakhstan, a vast Central Asian nation, grapples with environmental issues including severe air pollution in cities like Almaty and Karaganda, legacy pollution from the Aral Sea disaster, and climate-driven droughts and floods. Average temperatures have risen 1.5C since 1991, exacerbating water scarcity and desertification across 80% arid lands. The government pursues green economy goals under the Paris Agreement, targeting 15% renewables by 2030 and net-zero by 2060, with 12.7% land protected. However, data gaps persist in air quality monitoring and recycling infrastructure.
