Almaty region may become a site for Kazakhstan's first
"carbon-free city" with a full cycle of waste recycling. Nobel laureate
Rae Kwon Chung made such an initiative at a meeting with the region's akim
Marat Sultangaziyev.
The scientist, who is an advisor to the UN Secretary
General on climate change, arrived in the region at the invitation of the akim
to discuss the development of the new city of Alatau.
Rae Kwon Chung suggested minimizing the amount of
transport in the city by replacing personal with public transport, which would
reduce exhaust emissions.
