Deutsche Fassung
Abstract
Kazakhstan’s economy is one of the most carbon-intensive in the world. State subsidies for fossil fuels lead to low energy prices and weaken incentives for energy efficiency and the use of green technologies. Energy-intensive sectors such as the metal, mining, and chemical industries are favoured. Overcoming dependence on fossil fuels requires a comprehensive structural transformation of the entire economy. This also includes state support for the transition to green energy.
