Abstract

The article deals with the regulation of the development of the «green economy» taking into account the strategic program documents of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The current situation of the energy intensity of the economy of Kazakhstan is touched upon. In this context, there is an indirect subsidizing of natural monopoly enterprises and thermal power plants that pollute the environment due to the use of traditional energy technologies.

The content of the concept of «green economy» and an inclusive green economy is considered, and the account of the social component in the Concept for the transition of the Republic of Kazakhstan to a «green economy» is emphasized.

The need is noted in order to achieve sustainable development goals through an active state environmental policy at the central and local levels, consistency in tax incentives, development of green procurement of goods to support the use of resource-saving technologies, openness of procedures for selecting suppliers in the field of waste disposal and recycling, provision of residents with pedestrian and bike paths, public transport.

Based on information about the structure of electricity consumption in Kazakhstan, proposals have been formulated to improve the regulatory potential of environmental legislation and to concentrate the focus of the state environmental policy in relation to large industrial enterprises.

Taking into account the existing practice of waste sorting, an opinion was expressed on the need to comply with the «green» technologies proposed in the draft of the Environmental Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan for thermal waste disposal with energy production.

Along with what is stated in the article, proposals are formulated for the development of a «green economy» with the solution of priority tasks in the main areas of consumption of non-renewable natural resources.
