KazNU Faculty Members Complete Training on Climate Risk Assessment

From 6 to 8 October 2026, Nysynbayeva A.S. and Kozhakhmetova E.P., faculty members of the Department of Meteorology and Hydrology at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University, participated in a training seminar on climate change adaptation and successfully completed training on the methodological foundations of climate risk assessment.

The training was organized within the framework of a joint project of the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Kazakhstan entitled: “Institutionalizing Adaptation Planning and Integrating Climate Risks into Kazakhstan’s Development Planning Processes to Ensure the Implementation of Adaptation Measures within a Consistent National Adaptation Planning Policy.” During the training, participants became familiar with methodological approaches to climate risk assessment, adaptation planning, and the integration of climate factors into socio-economic development processes.

The knowledge and practical skills acquired are important for improving the department’s teaching and research activities, training specialists in meteorology and hydrology, and strengthening competencies in climate risk assessment and climate change adaptation.

The participation of faculty members in such educational activities contributes to their professional development, the introduction of modern methodological approaches into the educational process, and stronger cooperation between the academic community and organizations working in the field of climate policy in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
