The growth of renewable energy sources (RES) shows the desire of the government of Kazakhstan to meet challenges that affect the welfare and development of the state. National targets, government programs, policies influence renewable energy strategies. In the future, renewable energy technologies will act as sources of a green economy and sustainable economic growth. The state policy in the field of energy in Kazakhstan is aimed at improving the conditions for the development and support of renewable energy sources, amendments are being made to provide for the holding of auctions for new RES projects, which replaces the previously existing system of fixed tariffs. It is expected that the costs of traditional power plants for the purchase of renewable energy will skyrocket, provided that the goals in the field of renewable generation are achieved. This article provides an assessment of international experience in supporting renewable energy sources, as well as analyzes the current situation in the development of renewable energy in Kazakhstan and the impact on sustainable development and popularization of the «green» economy. The study shows that by supporting the development of renewable energy sources, economic growth is possible, which is achieved in an environmentally sustainable way.
The article provides an overview of the region's development, while suggesting how to assess sustainable development from the point of view of the ecological component, as well as social and economic. The paper presents a combination of assessments that used data and indicators (if any), as well as expert opinions for a comprehensive assessment. Although there are some key points and controversial issues, the development of Bayanaul l district can be assessed as sustainable. In general, there is a positive, general economic situation and the level of income of most people, good environmental conditions and rich biodiversity, stable social structure, and the identity of people in the area. On the contrary, there are various threats such as engineering and transport infrastructure, an increased flow of people from tourism, degradation of habitats, declining species richness and intensification of agriculture.
The article examines the current management system for heavy household waste (MSW) in resort areas in Kazakhstan. The work carried out an assessment of the municipal solid waste management infrastructure, which used the data of experts in the field of sustainable development in terms of environmental impact. The analysis of the prerequisites for the creation of a solid waste management system in the Shortandy-Burabay and Bayanaul resort zones has been carried out. Analysis of the dynamics of production and consumption waste generation shows a sharp tendency for their increase in recent years in the areas of resort areas. This is mainly due to the improvement in the general economic situation. The sanitary situation in resort areas is significantly complicated by environmental pollution by waste from settlements, recreational complexes, industrial and agricultural enterprises. Waste from production and consumption is stored in certain places, the organization and content of which in most cases does not meet regulatory requirements. The article proposes an integrated solid waste management system. The introduction of an integrated management system will reduce the volume of waste disposal, as well as bring economic and social effects in the considered resort areas.
