Created on behalf of the Head of State, the International Center for Green Technologies and Investment Projects will function on the basis of the Expo-UN International Center. The new center will become an ideological continuation of the heritage of the Astana Expo-2017 exhibition, and also aims at establishing strategic partnership relations between the world community in the development of green economy. Along with this, it will help attract investment in Kazakhstani projects. The International Center will cover seven main activity areas: Power sector transformation, sustainable urban development, green business development, transfer and adaptation of green technologies and best practices, development of green funding, development of renewable energy sources, and capacity-building for green growth. Activity of the Center will be focused on implementation of the above-mentioned measures, primarily in the countries of Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan), Iran, Afghanistan, Mongolia and Azerbaijan. At the same time, the Center will also cooperate with industrially developed countries of OECD, the European Union, the USA, the Russian Federation, China, India and the countries of Latin America. The projects of the International Center will involve national holding structures and development institutions, international financial organizations, leading world and Kazakhstani universities and research centers, as well as non-government organizations. The Center will be managed in accordance with UN standard operational procedures.
