Mirzagaliyev noted that the Ministry of Energy, to execute this order, together with state bodies and public organizations, started the work to develop measures of state support for green projects and green financing.

Many international development banks decided to invest only in green projects.

The activity of the center will open new opportunities for the development of renewable energy sources in the Central Asia. Transfer of innovation technologies, training, holding of expertize, consultations on questions of financing – all this will speed up the implementation of the green economy projects in all the Central Asian Countries.

“International Center of Green Technologies will also promote the Green Bridge Partnership Program, proposed to the world community by the Head of State,” Bulzhanova said.
