Functions of CCCC
Functions of the Center as executive body of the Interagency Commission:
The Center is responsible for oversight of greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction projects
The Center advises the Government of Kazakhstan on development of mechanisms for
registration and approval of GHG emission allowances (credits).
Creation of the national system for evaluation of potential GHG reduction projects on the basis
of environmental, national development, and financial considerations.
The Center creates the basis of a national system for legal and institutional regulation of
environmental activities taking into account flexible market mechanisms.
To promote development of the national process the Center should:
Consolidate activities on climate change abatement within the country and at the
international level
Develop a National Strategy for GHG reduction
Facilitate promotion of public activities and interest in implementation of the UNFCCC.
Initiate involvement of environmental NGOs and business in the process
Compile a library of international experience on climate change topics
Inform the public on the challenges of climate change and its impacts on environment,
health and economic development

Accomplishments in Kazakhstan (1)
• IAC and CCC functioning & widely recognized
• Contacts w/JI&CDM offices around world
• Draft MOUs with Dutch, World Bank, others
• Training/seminars in project prep, JI/CDM methodologies
• Project Developer’s Manual Distributed
• CDM/JI Baseline Assessment, Validation, Monitoring,
Verification and Certification procedures accepted as basis
for official standards
6
Accomplishments in Kazakhstan (2)
• Draft registry designed and accepted
• Extensive networking with project developers and potential
investors -- 40 projects and 8 UPDDs
• Web site www.climate.kz up in 2 weeks
– project pipeline, database of developers, registry, hot links,
general info.
• Draft laws “On Air Protection” and “On Ozone Layer Protection
and Climate”
• CCC to coordinate inter-agency task force on energy efficiency
(prepare strategy in 2001, begin implementation in 2002)

National Priorities
 Creation of legal basis for realization of economic mechanisms for natural resources management
using the new law on atmospheric air protection;
 Approval and introduction of internal procedures for consideration, assessment, verification,
monitoring and validation of CDM/JI projects on GHG reduction;
 Integration of GHG inventory in the national statistical reporting system and the national system
of environmental monitoring;
 Development of the National Strategy on greenhouse gas emission reduction and improvement of
energy-efficiency.
It is also needed:
1. To develop a target short-term program on energy-saving and greenhouse gas emission reduction;
2. To develop Feasibility Studies and to launch pilot projects on GHG emission reduction, the top
priority directions for projects are:
Energy-efficiency and energy-saving in cities both in the sector of energy production and
in the sector of energy consumption;
Energy supply in rural areas through introduction of autonomous systems using small
energy resources: mini hydropower stations, wind stations, small diesel plants, etc.;
Construction of large wind power stations;
Utilization of associate gas on oil fields;
Utilization of mine methane;
9
Short-term outlook
To start in 2001 developing legal and institutional infrastructure for creation of
market for carbon credits.
To introduce the act regulating the National Registry of GHG emissions from
GHG sources and of GHG sequestration by sinks;
To introduce the new law «On atmospheric air protection», providing for legal
regulation of emissions through use of economic mechanisms, that also allows
to regulate GHG emission reduction according to the ultimate goals of the
UNFCCC, ratified by Kazakhstan.
To conclude a relevant agreement and to launch pilot JI projects with external
investors for development of normative and legal mechanisms and for
technical adjustment of CDM/JI projects to the country’s economy;
To begin establishing legal and technical basis and system of voluntary
reduction, limitation and emission trade for enterprises and firms of the
country with further distribution of the resulting credits among them at the
internal market, as well as at the external market;
To establish Kazakhstan’s Carbon Fund as a mechanism of governmental
participation in realization and financing of CDM/JI projects.
