"We see what we breathe - we need to abandon coal."
Where does the smog in the capital
come from, and how to get rid of it?
What is the main cause of smog?
Due to the cold temperatures, local thermal power
plants and the private sector are intensively burning
coal, which led to Astana entering the top 10 cities in
the world with the most polluted air in 2022.

5.

The reason is that we burn coal
70%
According to official data, approximately
70% of electricity in Kazakhstan and more
than half of all greenhouse gas emissions
affecting the climate come from coal
burning
In 2018, a decision was made to gasify Astana.
The city administration has a plan for gasification, but
they are slightly behind schedule

6.

Previously, some officials argued
that the capital did not need
gasification because of the
consistently strong winds.
However, now we cannot rely on
it, as there is intensive urban
development within the city.

7.

The measures should be comprehensive.
We proposed to the city administration to
expand the number of socially vulnerable
categories of citizens eligible for benefits in
gasification

8.

It is also necessary to review the cost
of the service itself. Owners of private
houses complain that installing gas is
expensive

9.

10 years ago, the World Bank conducted a
study on Kazakhstan and concluded that
coal burning causes billions of dollars in
damage to our economy in the form of
population illnesses, disability, and lost
working days

10 years ago, the World Bank conducted a

damage to our economy in the form of
population illnesses, disability, and lost

And if we calculate the true cost of coal, taking into
account the damage to health and the impact on
the environment, coal would turn out to be more
expensive than gas

“Litter on the street starts with litter in the mind”

19.

Annually, the republic generates an
average of 4.5-5 million tons of municipal
solid waste (MSW), of which only 20% is
sorted and recycled, while the remaining
volume is disposed of in landfills
20%

20.

According to calculations, in just 3
years, the volume of solid household
waste, currently at 4.5 million tons,
will reach 8 million tons per year.

According to calculations, in just 3

waste, currently at 4.5 million tons,
will reach 8 million tons per year.
Will the country's waste
management industry
cope with such a load?

22.

Calls for Kazakhstan to transition to
waste sorting and recycling have been
raised repeatedly, but in practice, stateowned facilities that sort and process
municipal solid waste (MSW) exist only
in Astana, Shymkent, and Zhanaozen.

Astana became a
city with a

according to official
data, the city is
home to 1.3 million
people

34.

Astana is situated in an arid
zone characterized by a
scarcity of water resources.
The river Ishim is the main and only
water artery of the capital, with two
small tributaries - Sarybulak and
Akbulak

The only source providing drinking
water supply to the capital is the
Astana Reservoir, constructed in

Only now, after 50 years
of the reservoir's
existence, have efforts
begun to clean it

39.

As stated by the mayor, the
new facilities will ensure the
required volume of water
until 2035
Astana Akim (Mayor) Zhenis Kasymbek
announced the construction of a second
water pipeline, measuring 44 km in length

40.

Do you know that:
Flushing the toilet once uses 8-10 liters of water
Filling a bathtub consumes 150-200 liters of water
Taking a 5-minute shower uses 100 liters of water
An open tap can pour out approximately
1000 liters of water per hour
