*creation of “green corridors”;
*transition to zero-carbon energy;
*environmental audits of industrial facilities;
*support for eco-startups.

Civil activist and eco-entrepreneur Alma Karash was elected Chair of the Almaty city branch.
Under her leadership, a new environmental program — “Bring Clean Air Back to Almaty!” — is being launched.

Urban Eco-Projects: Air-Purification Towers

As part of her initiative, the installation of 1,500 air-purification towers is planned, each costing more than $100,000. Investors have expressed readiness to fully finance the project.

The program also includes systemic reforms:
*improving fuel quality;
