Dr. Kuat Akizhanov, Deputy Director Two of the CAREC Institute and Special Advisor to the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development (CCICED), attended the CCICED 2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM) held in Beijing from October 15 to 17 under the theme “Advancing the Green Transformation for a Harmonious Coexistence between Humans and Nature.” The meeting brought together CCICED leadership, council members, advisors, policy-makers, and experts from diverse backgrounds to discuss policy studies and recommendations through plenary sessions and open forums.

Dr. Akizhanov participated as a panelist in two forums: “Green and Just Transition: Building a New Engine for Economic and Social Development” and “Breaking the Constraints of the Linear Economy: Building a New Circular Economy.” During the discussions, he emphasized the importance of aligning Central Asia’s energy transition with social justice, highlighting the need to ensure energy security, equity, and inclusive growth in the region. He also noted that adopting circular economy principles can significantly reduce resource consumption and create new opportunities for green employment. Drawing on China’s experience in advancing circular economy policies, Dr. Akizhanov further called for greater regional cooperation through innovation, green finance, and knowledge exchange.
