Member countries of the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) Program have endorsed a new Climate Change Action Plan (CCAP) and launched the CAREC Climate and Sustainability Project Preparatory Fund (CSPPF) to strengthen regional collaboration on climate resilience, low-carbon growth, and sustainable development.

The endorsement took place at the 23rd CAREC Ministerial Conference held today in Astana. Ministers also endorsed the Midterm Review of the CAREC 2030 Strategy, which recommended reinvigorating regional cooperation and enhancing operations toward climate-smart development and regional public goods, among others.

“The approval of the CAREC Climate Change Action Plan and the establishment of the Climate and Sustainability Project Preparatory Fund are significant milestones in our collective efforts to address climate change,” said Asian Development Bank (ADB) President Masatsugu Asakawa, who delivered a keynote address at the conference.

“By working together, we can build resilient infrastructure, develop early warning systems, and create a greener future powered by renewable energy,” he added.

The CAREC Program is a partnership of countries in Central Asia, the Caucasus, South Asia, and East Asia, and development partners aiming to promote sustainable development through regional cooperation.

It facilitates practical, results-based regional projects and policy initiatives to accelerate economic growth and reduce poverty in the region. ADB hosts the CAREC Secretariat.

The CCAP, spanning from 2025 to 2027, prioritizes initiatives to implement the CAREC Climate Change Vision.

It focuses on four main areas to tackle climate challenges in the region.

It aims to help countries better prepare for and respond to climate risks; enhance the water-energy-food nexus; promote low-carbon growth by reducing emissions and expanding renewable energy; and create a CAREC climate platform.

The CSPPF will assist CAREC countries in developing bankable regional climate projects aligned with their commitments under the Paris Agreement.

Today, ADB also signed fund contribution agreements with the Ministry of Finance of the People’s Republic of China and the Ministry of Economy and Finance of the Republic of Korea, generating a total of $5 million initial funding for CSPPF.

During his visit to Kazakhstan, Asakawa met with President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev to discuss ongoing cooperation and future initiatives with ADB.

He will also participate in a ceremony celebrating 30 years of partnership between ADB and Kazakhstan and witness the signing of a loan agreement to reconstruct 208 kilometers of road in central Kazakhstan.

Since Kazakhstan joined ADB in 1994, the bank has committed around $7 billion in support to the country through loans, grants, and technical assistance for both public and private sector development projects and initiatives.

ADB is committed to achieving a prosperous, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable Asia and the Pacific while sustaining its efforts to eradicate extreme poverty.

Established in 1966, it is owned by 69 members — 49 from the region.
