Bishkek, Nov. 2, 2021 . / Kabar / . By 2030, Kyrgyzstan aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by forty-four percent (44%), President of the country Sadyr Zhaparov said in his speech at the World Leaders Summit of the 26th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change on Nov. 2.
He said currently Kyrgyzstan’s share of global emissions is small, on the order of zero point three hundredths of a percent (0.03%), and the nature of the country’s emissions is non-industrial and related to human activity.
“According to our calculations, the implementation of urgent medium-term measures to curb climate change is estimated at USD 7 billion.
By 2050, Kyrgyzstan will try to achieve carbon neutrality on the platform of green development. The driving force of this carbon-free policy will be renewable energy sources, primarily hydropower.
We intend to gradually implement projects to build small and medium hydropower plants in order to completely switch the industrial sector and the housing and communal services sector to electricity instead of carbon-based energy carriers, primarily coal and fuel oil,” Zhaparov added.
The Kyrgyz president stressed that about a dozen small and medium-sized hydropower plants are under construction in the republic, and some of them have been launched recently, half of them will be up and running by the end of next year.
