This decree approves 1) Regulations on the State Committee on Ecology and Climate of the Kyrgyz Republic in accordance (Appendix 1), and 2) the management scheme of the State Committee for Ecology and Climate of the Kyrgyz Republic (Appendix 2). It notably aims at lowering the impact of air pollution on health, improve waste management systems, tackle soil erosion, mainstream ecological thinking within the public sector and policymaking, and assess GHG emissions.

This document seeks to create the fundamentals for the introduction of Green Economy approaches to the development of priority sectors of the national economy. The areas where a green transition should be promoted first are the following: energy, agriculture, manufacturing, transport, tourism, municipal waste management, and cities.

This document was approved by decree no. 2377-VI of 2018. It seeks to enhance the country's mitigation, adaptation and disaster risk management actions. It notably states that the&nbsp;government will propose mechanisms for the creation of new investment funds (venture, green climate, trust, sovereign funds and development funds).

The purpose of this Programme is to enhance and preserve the biological diversity of the Kyrgyz Republic and to increase the area covered by forests under a changing climate. The overall objective of the adaptation projects and programs is to support specific measures aimed at mitigating the adverse effects of climate change on the population of the country and sectors of the economy. The main adaptation activities include the following:Improving the regulatory legal framework for climate change adaptation;Improving the institutional framework and ensuring cross-sectoral integration in adapting to climate change;Improving financial and economic mechanisms, including the mobilization of external funding for priority adaptation measures;Improving information tools to provide process monitoring of climate change and climate risk assessment;Involvement of civil society in the process of adaptation to climate change;Building scientific capacity to adapt to climate change;Organization and promotion of cross-border cooperation on adaptation to climate change.

These documents aim to increase the share of green growth in the economy as well as improve the country's resilience to adverse effects fo climate change.The program was approved by decree 218/2013.






This Law establishes the legal basis for the assessment of energy effi?ciency and decrease in consumption of energy resources of existing and new buildings.






The purpose of this law is the development and use of renewable energy sources, the improvement of the energy structure, the diversification of energy resources, ensuring energy security, environmental protection and sustainable economic development. This law regulates the production, consumption and sale of heat, electricity and fuel using renewable energy sources, as well as the production and supply of equipment and technologies in the field of renewable energy sources.&nbsp; Art. 5 specifies that this law notably applies to 1) the study of the potential of renewable energy sources, 2) economic incentives, 3) development, production, import and use of power plants, machinery, equipment and products for the production, transport, transformation, storage and use of renewable energy sources, and 4) the implementation of any official activity aimed at increasing the use of renewable energy. Chapter 2 sets the administrative rules to be applied to the field of renewable energy.

This law determines the basis for state regulation, the procedure for the activities, rights, duties and responsibilities of state bodies, local governments, individuals and legal entities in the sphere of emission and absorption of greenhouse gases on the territory of the Kyrgyz Republic. Article 3 determines that the state climate policy is notably carried out in the following directions: 1) implementation of state regulation, 2) compliance of activities in order to protect the environment and public health, priorities for economic development, as well as international obligations, 3) ensuring national and environmental security, political and economic interests, as well as fulfilling the country's international obligations, 4) promotion of the use of economic mechanisms in national and international law, 5) gradual reduction and elimination of market disparities, fiscal control methods that are contrary to the objectives of this law, with their replacement by market mechanisms, 6) ensuring the functioning of the state monitoring system, 7) ensuring free access to information on actual and projected quantities of greenhouse gas emissions and the results of climate projects, 8) integration with domestic, foreign and international systems for recording and monitoring greenhouse gas emissions and removals and the results of climate projects.

The law further discusses the methods of state regulation, implementation of specific mitigatio programmes and legal aspects.

This law determines objectives of energy savings and efficiency, and defines a legal and regulatory framework accordingly. It covers the sectors of production, conversion, transfer, storage, distribution and use of fuel and energy resources, in the corporate, private and public spheres (art. 2).
