💰 The United Nations Development Programme and the Government of Japan are providing $3 million to help Kazakhstan address the shrinking of the Caspian Sea.

🌊 The initiative aims to improve water governance, strengthen environmental monitoring, and enhance regional cooperation among Caspian states.

⚠️ Experts warn that the Caspian Sea is rapidly declining due to climate change, rising temperatures, increased evaporation, and reduced river inflows, posing serious risks to biodiversity, fisheries, and local livelihoods.

🔬 Kazakhstan will expand scientific monitoring in the northern Caspian and improve data sharing with neighboring countries. The project also supports evidence-based policies for long-term sustainable water management and is implemented with the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources and the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation.

🔹The Supreme Eurasian Economic Council held meetings in both narrow and expanded formats on Friday.

President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev noted that the Eurasian Economic Union Treaty was signed in Astana on May 29, 2014, establishing EAEU Day. He emphasized the need to adapt the Union to global changes and strengthen its competitiveness.

He said the EAEU continues to show steady growth, with combined GDP expected to rise by around 2.5% over the next two years. Despite global market volatility, trade turnover between member states exceeded $95 billion last year, with mutual trade projected to grow by more than 6% and surpass $100 billion.

Tokayev also highlighted digitalization of transport corridors as a key priority. He described the Eurasian transport network as a high-tech system linking Asia, Europe, and the Middle East, covering over 50,000 km of routes, including more than 10,000 km in Kazakhstan.

Logistics remains a key driver of economic cooperation within the EAEU, with cargo transportation exceeding 2.5 billion tonnes since the start of the year. To streamline cross-border trade, member states are introducing digital customs solutions. Kazakhstan’s KEDEN system and Russia’s new SPOT platform, launching on June 1, are expected to simplify cargo verification and speed up the movement of goods across the common market.

At the same time, growing geopolitical uncertainty has increased the importance of alternative overland trade routes. Experts highlight Kazakhstan’s Middle Corridor as a secure option for international transit. Further development of the route, including expanding the capacities of the ports of Aktau and Kuryk and reducing transaction costs, could strengthen trade links and support economic growth across the EAEU.
