Kazakhstan Joins Declaration on Tripling Atomic Energy
Landmark Agreement to Boost Clean Energy Production
Global Commitment to Sustainable Development
In a significant step towards promoting sustainable energy practices, Kazakhstan has joined the Declaration on Tripling Atomic Energy, a global initiative to triple the share of atomic energy in the global energy mix by 2050.
The declaration, adopted at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) General Conference in September 2022, recognizes the crucial role of atomic energy in mitigating climate change and ensuring energy security. It brings together 27 countries, including the United States, France, China, and Russia, who are committed to working collectively to increase the use of atomic energy for peaceful purposes.
Kazakhstan's Contribution to Clean Energy Goals
Kazakhstan's accession to the declaration underscores its commitment to diversifying its energy sources and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The country has a long history of safe and responsible use of atomic energy, with its first nuclear power plant, the BN-350, operating since 1973.
With a population of over 19 million people, Kazakhstan has a growing demand for reliable and affordable energy. Atomic energy offers a clean and efficient solution, providing a constant source of electricity with minimal carbon emissions.
Global Collaboration for Sustainable Future
The Declaration on Tripling Atomic Energy is a testament to the growing international consensus on the importance of atomic energy in the fight against climate change. The initiative promotes collaboration among countries to share best practices, develop new technologies, and ensure the safe and secure use of atomic energy.
By joining the declaration, Kazakhstan joins a global community of nations committed to a sustainable energy future. The country's participation in this initiative will contribute to the global efforts to reduce carbon emissions, promote energy security, and create a cleaner and healthier planet for generations to come.
