According to the World Meteorological Organization (
), average annual global temperature in 2018 exceeded the values of the pre-
public.wmo.int
industrial period of 1850
1900 by 0.99-0.13 ° C, and in 2019 by 1.1 degrees. The decade of 2010 - 2019 was the warmest yet on record, with 2018
‐
being the fourth warmest year on record, and 2019 the second.
Climate change
Beginning in 1976, the average annual temperature in Kazakhstan has risen with
each subsequent decade by approximately 0.3° C.

Temperature
:
In the central oblasts the winter of 2018-2019 was slightly colder than
usual, and in the western and southern oblasts air temperatures
exceeded norms in some locations by 2-4° C.
The s
pring of both 2018 and 2019 brought temperatures exceeding
norms throughout the country of between 1-3° C.
Air temperatures were also above normal in the summers of 2018 and
2019. The maximum temperature anomaly in 2018 was greater than 4° C
in some regions; in 2019, the maximum anomaly was registered in the
Mangystau region - 1.72° C.
In the autumn of 2018, North Kazakhstan and Kostanay regions
experienced especially warm temperatures, and the seasonal maximum
temperature for the Kostanay region was updated. In 2019, the autumn
temperature showed a slight deviation from the average; the largest
deviation below average was noted north of the Aral Sea and the largest
above average deviation was recorded in the far northern regions of the
republic.
Precipitation
In 2018, recorded precipitation for March, April, August, November exceeded the average, with the month of March receiving its highest precipitation since
1969. In all other months, precipitation was below normal. In 2019, precipitation for February, April, June, September and December exceeded the historic
averages, with April and September exceeding norms by 20%.
G
reenhouse gases are a part of our world, and all contribute to climate change to one degree or another. In
calculating total emissions of greenhouse gases, we look at emissions against a scale of comparable amounts
of carbon dioxide, which has the lowest greenhouse effect. Climatologists call this indicator the CO2 equivalent
of emissions of the corresponding greenhouse gas.
As a result of the economic recession of
2001, greenhouse gas emissions then
were at their lowest levels in the period of
1990 - 2018. In 2018, carbon dioxide
accounted for the greatest level of
greenhouse gas emissions.

gas emissions in 1990

Greenhouse gas emissions - 2013–2018
Greenhouse gas emissions from a range of industries and sectors vary with economic and
demographic factors, but percentages have been affected only slightly since 1990.

Land management and the forestry sector and changes to these sectors result in the
emission of greenhouse gases, but these are also greenhouse gas absorbent sectors,
playing a vital role in the overall balance of greenhouse gas emissions. From 1990-1996,
the activity in these sectors resulted in a positive, or greater absorption of greenhouse
gasses emitted. This was followed by a 10-year 'negative' period (1996 to 2006) of
emissions, where more gasses are released than are absorbed. This was followed by a
decade of carbon sequestration, 2006-2017 and then, most recently, 2017-2018, a period
of greater emission than absorption. These changes are associated largely with changes
in land management practices.

Amount of greenhouse gases emitted by the agricultural sector
Agriculture represents the second largest source of greenhouse gases. Most of the greenhouse gases here
arise from methane, formed by intestinal fermentation processes in livestock and nitrous oxide emissions
from cultivated soils.

Note: some recorded
emergencies are unrelated
to weather events and do
not serve as an indicator of
climate change.
In 2018, 148 dangerous natural hydrometeorological phenomena
were recorded in Kazakhstan; in 2019, 83 such phenomena were
recorded. From 1990 to 2019, the greatest number of hazardous
natural hydrometeorological phenomena was observed in 2003.
In the winter of 2018-2019, precipitation levels fell within normal ranges
over most of Kazakhstan; precipitation shortfalls were observed mainly in
the north of the country and in some southern and western regions. The
driest region was the western section of East Kazakhstan, where recorded
precipitation was less than 20% of the norm.
T
he spring of 2018 saw increases in precipitation throughout the country,
with the East Kazakhstan, North Kazakhstan and Pavlodar regions
experiencing particularly wet weather. In the spring of 2019, precipitation
was between 80-120% of the norm. The Mangystau region and the area
north of the Caspian Sea saw particularly high precipitation.
In the summers of 2018 and 2019, precipitation levels in Kazakhstan were
below normal with particularly dry weather noted in the Aktobe, West
Kazakhstan, Atyrau, Mangistau, Kyzylorda, Turkestan, Jambyl and
Karaganda regions. In these regions, the summer of 2018 was among the
top 10% of extreme dry seasons ever observed. In 2019, the Karaganda
region set a new record of minimum precipitation; the previous record was
observed in 1945.
Autumn 2018 was a dry season in the west of Kazakhstan - in the top 10% of
extreme dry seasons there. In the Turkestan, Pavlodar and East
Kazakhstan regions, precipitation exceeded norms. The autumn of 2019
brought an excess of precipitation to the northern regions, with extreme
wet weather in the Akmola region. Simultaneously, in the northwestern
regions of the country, autumn 2019 was dry – recorded in the top 5% of the
region's driest seasons on record.

In 1995, Kazakhstan ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), becoming
full party to the Convention; since 2009 Kazakhstan has been a party to Annex I of the Kyoto Protocol. In 2016,
Kazakhstan ratified the Paris Agreement on climate change.
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is an
agreement on the principles of engagement by nations in the fight against
climate change, having been signed by nearly all industrialized countries.
The Paris Agreement is an international treaty on climate change adopted at
the 21st session of the Conference of Parties to the UNFCCC.
The Kyoto Protocol commits industrialized countries to the limitation and
reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with approved national
commitments.
One main obligation under the UNFCCC is the annual
submission of the National Greenhouse Gas
Emission Report to the Convention Secretariat. The
report includes data on the six major gases with a
direct greenhouse effect, including carbon dioxide,
methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons,
perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride. Estimates are
submitted for some greenhouse gas sources producing indirect effects: carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides,
non-methane volatile organic compounds, sulfur dioxide.
Within the framework of the Paris Agreement, Kazakhstan proposes to reduce its
greenhouse gas emissions by 15-25% by 2030 relative to base level emissions from
1990 and encompassing the entire national economy.
In pursuit of the Convention's 13th Sustainable Development Goal involving the adoption of
urgent measures to combat climate change and its consequences, Kazakhstan has adopted
measures to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, instituting an online system for monitoring,
reporting and verifying emission sources, and is planting Saxaul on the drained Aral Sea
basin. To reduce its volume of greenhouse gas emissions, Kazakhstan's carbon emissions
exchange system is now operational and sufficient to account for the nation's largest
greenhouse gas emitters.

In 2018-2019, practical engineering and protective measures helped limit the flood
threat at 692 population centers. In 2019, 316 kilometers of retaining dams and levees
were erected, 268 kilometers of retaining structures were repaired, as well as the
completion of bank reinforcement, dredging and straightening of 237 kilometers of
flood riverbeds, construction and repair of 226 kilometers of drainage systems, and
maintenance of 1424 kilometers of ditches and canals.
In 2019, to provide public information on the flood threat, 475 presentations were
broadcast on television, 1547 on the radio, and 677 articles were published.
Mudslides
Mudslide monitoring is carried out at 89 posts, of which 64 are year-round and 19
seasonal.
To protect against meltwater in 2019, 6.3 million m3 of snow was removed from
population centers; 22 thousand road culverts and 2.5 thousand on railway culverts
were cleaned; 50 settlements were provided with embankments; and bypass canals
were serviced and cleaned in 79 towns.
Information on natural
hazards and emergencies
is collected and processed
at 28 control centers.
Avalanche
To monitor avalanche-prone areas, a surveillance and warning service has been organized
which includes 60 year-round and 37 seasonal posts; monitoring is also carried out on 24
routes experiencing significant snowfall. In mountainous areas, 1899 sections of snow-fencing
have been erected. To provide public information on safety measures in avalanche-prone
zones, 98 warning and information boards were erected.

Fires
Remote forest fire sensors are
maintained to monitor forest and
steppe fires. Regular land and air
patrols are conducted covering
more than 9 million hectares of
State Forest.
In 2019, mineralized strips extending more than 280 thousand kilometers were installed in
forest-steppe areas; more than 6000 posters and billboards on fire safety were installed;
initiatives in 3777 towns & cities worked to clear dry vegetation and dispose of combustible
materials.
In 2019, 335 regional fire-tactical exercises and six international fire-tactical
exercises were conducted.
Kazhydromet conducts systematic meteorological observations at 328 weather stations. An
aero weather network is comprised of 203 observation posts. The hydrological network
includes 310 observation points, with 264 posts located on rivers and 36 on lakes.

In 2012, at the Conference of the Parties to the Convention, Kazakhstan announced its
commitment to the reduction of emissions by 5% relative to base level emissions from 1990.
To meet its obligations under the UNFCCC, new articles have been introduced into the
Environmental Code. On the basis of these articles, a framework for the regular accounting
and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions has been adopted and an internal carbon market
has begun to function. In addition, the amended Environmental Code makes provision for a
department on the "Public administration for adaptation to climate change".
