Ecologicaluse resources without a negative impact on the environment
Socio-culturaldevelop processes and structures that help to maintain a healthy community
Increasing population and output
The word population is increasing as never before. The increase in population triggers a rise in output and consumption.
Depletion of non-renewable resources
The increase in consumption is triggering production. Higher production volumes require more resources. Some of these resources are non-renewable.
Poverty/Hunger/Lack of drinking water
21% of the population is in poverty. 790 million people don’t have enough food to lead an active life. 1.1 billion people don’t have acces to drinking water.
37 yearsLeft until oil is completely depleted
1.1 billionPeople don’t have access to drinking water

How to reduce poverty?
Education◉ Free access to primary and
secondary education◉ Promoting literacy in rural
areas◉ Specialized secondary
education
Healthcare◉ Health insurance promotion◉ More accessible healthcare
Water and Sanitation◉ Water cleaning facilities◉ Conversion of sea water to
drinking water

Aral Sea
IssueThe once full Aral Sea has been depleted by non-sustainable water usage for farming. Sea salt and dangerous chemicals released are contaminating the air and the water of the are.
What has been done?• Aral Sea Basin Program
(ineffective)• JV “Aral Sea Operating
Company” to do geological exploration and exploitation of the potential oil and gas fields
• No actions to save the sea
Sustainable Farming
Issue21% of the country’s GDP comes from agriculture. Unsustainable use of land and water leads to low yields and shortage. Child labor use on the cotton fields.
What has been done?• Programs to improve the
irrigation and drainage infrastructure
• Introduction of Drip Irrigation
• Switch from cotton production to farming of food products
• Educational programs for local farmers
Rural Development
IssueLow development of the rural areas. High rates of illiteracy. Low life quality. Shortages of energy and resources. Low quality healthcare.
What has been done?• Introduction of micro
financing to finance small rural enterprises and entreprenuers
• Rural housing program to build over 200’000 new houses
• Rural enterprise financing by ADB
Energy
IssueEnergy shortages including shortage of electricity in the rural areas, gas and fuel shortages.
What has been done?• Development of
renewable energy sources (biofuel)
• ADB Samarkand Solar Energy project (7 months of sun on average per year)
• Wind capacity development in the Navoiregion
What can be done further?
Aral Sea◉ Analyze the experience of
Kazakhstan in refilling the Northern part of the sea
◉ Reduce water use for agriculture to refill the sea
Sustainable Farming◉ Reducing government
intervention in setting yield goals for farmers
◉ Spreading water usage minimizing technologies
◉ Farmer education
Rural Development◉ Make healthcare available in
rural areas◉ Improve literacy among rural
citizens◉ Increase the quota for rural
students at universities
Energy
◉ Promote solar energy usage for households
◉ Create a wind energy infrastructure
◉ Change the time zone (time offset) once a year
◉Reducing CO2 emissions
◉ Increase the emissions standards for cars on the streets
◉ Promote electric cars and offer discounts or incentives for their usage
◉Natural Resources Conservation
◉ Waste management and recucling plants
◉ Promote usage of reusable products
