The Parliament of the Republic of Kazakhstan is currently considering a draft of the new Environmental Code (hereinafter - the 'Draft Code') developed by the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan under the instruction of the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
The Draft Code significantly differs from the current Environmental Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The Draft Code is based on the experience of the countries of the Organisation for Environmental Cooperation and Development (OECD). The Draft Code provides for a fundamental change in the state environmental protection policy.
Here we outline on the key changes proposed by the Draft Code in the area of environmental protection.
