Kazakhstan's Ambitious Green Village Project Aims for Carbon Neutrality by 2060
Kazakhstan is set to launch a large-scale project to build 100 green villages. Led by entrepreneur and BIRCH CEO Vladimir Rich, the project aims to unite people in a common ecological cause and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.
The first eco-village is planned between Almaty and Talgar. It will feature renewable energy systems, including solar panels, rainwater harvesting and treatment, and sewage recycling. Residents will be able to grow their own food in year-round greenhouses and enjoy car-free streets. Each village will include about 80 houses, with 40 for private buyers and 40 for long-term rental properties. The company is preparing a tokenized financing model for citizens to buy shares in the eco-villages.
Rich's ecological mission includes planting trees across Kazakhstan. In 2025, he plans to plant 1,300 mature Tian Shan spruces and 9,000 Sievers apple trees. The company aims to plant ten million trees annually as part of this mission.
The green village project in Kazakhstan is an ambitious step towards a sustainable future. With the support of local residents and the government, Rich's vision could transform the country's landscape and reduce its carbon dioxide emissions. The success of this project will depend on the effective implementation of the planned initiatives and the involvement of the local community.
