Climate Skills for Kazakhstan
Climate Skills for Kazakhstan is a project by Global Shapers Astana Hub (part of the Global Shapers Community – an initiative of the World Economic Forum) in partnership with Climate Action Initiative Central Asia (CAICA) NGO.
Today, the topic of climate in Kazakhstan has become actively discussed in society, but rather only superficially; one of the reasons for this is the lack of local expertise, especially in the area of climate law and climate finance. Youth is the least involved in the discussion of the country's future climate plans, and we want to increase the expertise of young professionals to prepare them for dialogue and action in these areas.
Our mission is to increase young people's awareness and expertise in climate law and finance and the professional climate agenda, providing meaningful and lasting engagement with, on behalf of and for young people in the context of climate action by enabling them to gain and share knowledge, opportunities, experiences and resources.
Raise awareness among young professionals of the need for experts in climate law and finance, create
a space for discussion, exchange of experiences and networking between climate law and finance professionals and young people for their further mutual support and co-operation
Increase the accessibility of knowledge on the topic by publishing lectures in open access with translations into Kazakh, English and Russian so that all materials can be easily utilised to increase impact both locally and internationally
