For reference: The Green Bridge Partnership Programme is an international environmental initiative of Kazakhstan for the transition of countries to a green economy based on a multilateral partnership with business, public and international cooperation.
At the III Astana Economic Forum (AEF) in May 2010, the First President of the Republic of Kazakhstan - Elbasy N.A.Nazarbayev, put forward the "Green Bridge" initiative aimed at the transition to a "green" economy and the transfer of sustainable technologies. At the 66-th session of the UN General Assembly (September 13, 2011), the Republic of Kazakhstan initiated the Green Bridge Partnership Programme, which was supported by the decisions of the 6-th Ministerial Conference of Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP, 2010) and the 7-th Pan-European Conference "Environment for Europe" (UNECE, 2011).
At the UN Conference on Sustainable Development in Brazil (RIO+20, 2012), the Green Bridge Partnership Programme was approved as an interregional, practical and voluntary mechanism for the transition to a green economy, open to the participation of all parties, which was included in the final document "The Future we want".
