37. The ways out of the global crisis - the transition to sustainable development.

Sustainable development refers to a mode of human development in which resource use aims to meet human needs while ensuring the sustainability of natural systems and the environment, so that these needs can be met not only in the present, but also for generations to come.

The transition to sustainable development for the Republic of Kazakhstan will be carried out

gradually. At the first phase - by 2009 - conditions should be prepared for implementation of

the sustainable development principles in all areas of public and political activities,

diversification of the economy, realisation of a technological breakthrough. On this basis,

according to the concept authors, the accession of the republic into the world's top 50

competitive states by 2012 is provided.

By 2018 Kazakhstan must consolidate its position among the most developed countries, significantly reducing losses from irrational use of natural resources and providing a high level of the environmental sustainability, and by 2024 the republic is going to obtain the "sustainable development" status and promote further progress in the sustainable development of the Eurasian continent. The concept on transition of Kazakhstan towards a sustainable development for 2007-2024, approved by Order No. 216 of the President of Kazakhstan on November 14, 2006, specifies that a sustainable economic development of Kazakhstan will utilise support for environment friendly and effective power production, including use of renewable sources and recycled materials.
