In this episode of Modern Nomads, Euronews reporter Tomiris Bilyal explores how Kazakhstan is tackling waste, one of the world’s biggest environmental challenges.
Launched last year by President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, the nationwide ecological campaign Taza Kazakhstan, or “Clean Kazakhstan,” aims to establish a new national ideology of nature conservation.
So far, the campaign has seen over 9 million people join efforts, organising more than 900 clean-up events and planting nearly 2.5 million trees. From local clean-ups to satellite-powered monitoring, the campaign has united communities, experts and cutting-edge tools to lead Kazakhstan’s green transition.
Deputy Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources Mansur Oshurbayev says the campaign is not only addressing waste, but also transforming public attitudes across the country.
