Where vested interests lie: An analysis of Kazakhstan’s coal, oil and gas industries
The Report prepared by Mariya Lobacheva and Tatyana Sedova examines the practical steps Kazakhstan is taking to reduce the production of fossil fuels – specifically oil, gas and coal – in light of its commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2060. It analyses which countries have direct or indirect interests in the continued production of fossil fuels, and identifies the regions of Kazakhstan likely to experience social impacts resulting from the phase-out of production. The study exposes the disconnect between Kazakhstan’s climate pledges and its energy reality. While committing to carbon neutrality by 2060, the country continues signing fossil fuel contracts extending to 2068 – a paradox demanding urgent scrutiny.
