카자흐스탄 국외연구자료 연구보고서 - UNESCAP 발간일 : 2022-03-07 등록일 : 2022-04-07 원문링크

Kazakhstan is the largest landlocked country in the world. It is an upper-middle-income country with a population of 18.7 million. Nursultan (capital) and Almaty are the country’s major cities. The geographical terrain is 90% flat with high mountains located only in the South Eastern and Eastern parts of the country. A leading producer and exporter of wheat in the region, the country is the largest economy of Central Asia, generating 60% of the region's GDP (USAID, 2017). More than 50% of its employment is generated by 4 economic sectors: 16 % by agriculture, forestry and fishery; 15% from repair of vehicles and motorcycles; 13% from the industry sector and 12% from the education sector (Third Biennial Report, 2017).

Kazakhstan is rich in natural resources such as coal, oil and natural gas. Due to its high dependence on coal and oil, the country’s GDP growth is closely correlated with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The geographical location and climatic conditions of Kazakhstan make it prone to natural disasters such as floods, mudflows and landslides. According to a World Bank assessment, 75% of the country is at an increasing risk of adverse climate change impact (CCKP World Bank, 2021).
