The 2nd day CALP Agenda consisted of two large sub-topics, one of them is devoted to the resource efficiency in different sectors of economy within the framework of the European Union (EU) programme SCP Facility, SWITCH-Asia Programme to support sustainable consumption and production in South Asia, South East Asia, and Central Asia.
The concept of a «green economy» has become increasingly popular over the past decade amid the growing and irreversible influence of anthropogenic factors. This topic is widely discussed by heads of States and Governments at national, regional and global levels, realizing the importance to implement policies aimed at reducing negative impacts on the environment.
The opening ceremony of the 12th Central Asian Leadership Programme on Environment for Sustainable Development took place virtually on September 20, 2021 due to the current situation amid COVID-19 pandemic.
The Leadership Programme 2021 is hosted by the Regional Environmental Centre for Central Asia (CAREC) in cooperation with the European Union SWITCH-ASIA Programme, the OSCE Programme Office in Nur-Sultan, the Office of the Co-ordinator of OSCE Economic and Environmental Activities, the EU Delegations in Kazakhstan and Central Asia, and the World Bank. Along with CAREC, the Kazakh-German University (DKU) is a co-partner in this project.
