This is the second environmental review of Kazakhstan published by the UNECE, which takes stock of the progress made by Kazakhstan in the management of its environment since the country was first reviewed in 2000. It assesses the implementation of the recommendations in the first review (annex 1). It also covers nine issues of importance to Kazakhstan concerning policymaking, planning and implementation, the financing of environmental policies and projects, and the integration of environmental concerns into economic sectors, in particular energy, mineral resources and water management. The report places particular emphasis on the promotion of sustainable development, as the country gives a high priority to this issue.
