Network of Partners
The Eurasian Carbon Project leverages a network of international experts from diverse fields. These partners collaborate closely to ensure that Kazakhstan's carbon farming initiatives are aligned with global standards and can be effectively scaled to other regions.
The current network and partners and stakeholders includes the following institutions:
Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazahkstan that oversees the environmental regulation and policy implementation of carbon farming practices in Kazakhstan.
Ministry of Agriculture of the Republic of Kazahkstan that integrates carbon farming into Kazakhstan’s national agricultural policy, ensuring widespread adoption of sustainable practices.
Kazakhstan Emissions Trading System (KAZ ETS) that provides the regulatory framework for the creation and trading of carbon credits in Kazakhstan’s emerging carbon market.
International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis (IIASA) that offers scientific research and analysis on sustainable land management, carbon sequestration strategies, and trading options.
BRICS Competition Law and Policy Centre that provides expertise on legal frameworks and policy regulations to facilitate carbon trading in Kazakhstan and across Eurasia.
TALAP Center for Applied Research that conducts socio-economic research on the impact of carbon farming on rural communities, contributing local insights that help tailor recommendations for Kazakhstan’s unique context.
United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) that supports efforts to combat land degradation in Kazakhstan and provides expertise on sustainable land management.
Green Finance Centre (GFC that facilitates investment in Kazakhstan’s carbon markets and works to attract international investors to fund carbon farming initiatives.
The network continues to expand, seeking to include more regional and international partners to ensure the successful implementation of carbon farming practices not only in Kazakhstan but also in other ADB countries. This expansion will enable the project to address broader issues such as land degradation, loss of biodiversity, water scarcity, and food security in the region.
