The purpose of the law (full name: 'On introducing amendments and addenda to some legislative acts of Kazakhstan on the transition to green economy") is to improve legislation related to ecology and renewable energy.
Changes are made to the Land, Water, Environment, Tax, and Enterprise Codes to introduce or strengthen sustainable practices (e.g. updated environmental and natural resources protections, extended producer responsibility, improved standards for water consumption, sustainable waste management).
In direct relation to climate change, the law supplements the law 'on supporting the use of renewable energy sources' with amendments further supporting renewable electricity, creation of a renewable energy reserve fund, and improvement of the mechanisms for connecting renewable sources to national electric grid.
