At the Kazakhstan National Pavilion during the COP31 climate conference in Antalya, Türkiye, Jasyl Damu JSC signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Asian Disaster Preparedness Center (ADPC). A ceremony was also held to exchange the signed Memorandum of Understanding with the Stockholm Environment Institute’s U.S. Center (SEI US). Both events took place during the panel session titled “Kazakhstan’s Carbon Market: From National Mechanisms to International Cooperation.”
The Memorandum of Understanding with ADPC was signed by Yerzhan Sarsenbay, Chairman of the Management Board of Jasyl Damu JSC, and Aslam Perwaiz, Executive Director of ADPC.
The partnership aims to improve greenhouse gas inventories and develop monitoring, reporting, and verification (MRV) systems in the land-use sector through the application of geospatial technologies. Particular attention will be given to climate change adaptation, as well as the assessment of climate-related loss and damage.
The ceremony to exchange the Memorandum of Understanding with SEI US was attended by Yerzhan Sarsenbay and Miquel Muñoz Cabré, Senior Scientist at the Stockholm Environment Institute’s U.S. Center.
The agreements reached are aimed at advancing joint efforts in climate and environmental policy, strengthening expert capacity, conducting analytical research, and applying modeling approaches to support climate-related decision-making.
Cooperation with ADPC and SEI US will enable Jasyl Damu JSC to expand its international expert partnerships and draw on international best practices in implementing Kazakhstan’s climate initiatives.
