Sustainable Energy: the role of CAREC
Ms. Nailya Mustaeva
The Regional Environmental Centre for Central Asia
(CAREC)
Our mission:
• To promote multi-stakeholder cooperation
in addressing environmental problems in
Central Asia at the local, national and
regional levels:
• Climate change and sustainable energy:
– Move beyond the environmental agenda
– See from the angle of low-emission strategies

Sustainable energy: role of CAREC
• Implementation of the regional and national projects
on climate change and sustainable energy;
• Promoting cooperation between governmental
agencies, non-governmental agencies, business;
• Ensuring technical expertise on climate change and
sustainable energy in the region;
• Addressing environmental issues at the national and
regional levels;
• Promoting exchange, networking and learning;
• Enhancing public participation in the decision-making
processes.
CAREC’s regional projects
• Germany (BMU): “Integrated Approach
for the Development of Low Carbon
Development Strategies in Central Asia”
(NAMA) – DIW, CAREC
• EU: “Sustainable Energy Programme for
Central Asia: Renewable Energy Sources
& Energy Efficiency” (CASEP) - GIZ, GfA,
CAREC
Strategy of the CAREC
• Link the programme goals with existing and
planned global and regional initiatives on
climate change and sustainable energy: e.g.
SE4ALL, EXPO 2017, PPCR, etc.
• Support the public-private interactions and
ensure the regional and national content. For
example, business partners in RES and EE
events;
• Capacity building (e.g. climate finance
mechanisms).
