At the World Climate Summit (COP 29), the Presidents of Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and Uzbekistan—Kasym-Jomart Tokayev, Ilham Aliyev, and Shavkat Mirziyoyev—signed an Agreement on Strategic Partnership in Green Energy Production and Transmission, Akorda reports.
President Tokayev noted that Kazakhstan’s commitment to green energy as a pathway to carbon neutrality: "We are dedicated to reducing dependence on fossil fuels, advancing technological innovations, and building infrastructure that supports environmental sustainability. Kazakhstan has established agreements with international partners to implement green projects totaling 43 GW,” he added.
President Ilham Aliyev expressed that the agreement elevates the strategic partnership and fraternal ties between the three nations:
"The Central Asia and Caucasus regions are aligned in numerous areas, including green energy development. We are well aware of the ambitious plans and achievements in renewable energy in both Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan."
President Mirziyoyev highlighted the broader purpose of the agreement, beyond economic goals, as a shared commitment to the future:
“The environmental impact of this project is particularly noteworthy. The green energy transmitted—sourced from wind and solar—will reduce our carbon footprint. In doing so, we support the goals of the Paris Agreement and reinforce our commitment to sustainable development.”
