From November 11 to 22, 2024, the 29th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 29) is taking place in Baku, Azerbaijan, bringing together world leaders, experts, and business representatives. One of the central themes of the conference is climate change education and awareness initiatives.
Aligned with this priority, on November 18, a session titled “Enhancing Climate Change Education, Awareness, and Action” was held at the Qatar Pavilion. The session featured Zhomart Mominbayev, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of TechnoGroupService LLP, as a speaker invited by the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI). He presented practices for integrating the company’s sustainable business strategies with climate education.
In his speech, Zh. Mominbayev emphasized that collaboration with universities and youth is not only a way to raise awareness but also a tool for engaging local communities and promoting sustainable solutions. The company actively collaborates with the Kazakh-British Technical University (KBTU), the Nazarbayev University Graduate School of Business (NU GSB), and Satbayev University.
In 2023, TGS developed an educational case study for the MBA course “Leadership and Entrepreneurship” at NU GSB, titled “TGS: in search of Blue Ocean in the renewable energy sector of Kazakhstan.” The case promotes green technologies and engages in educational initiatives, seminars, and training for different age groups.
Special attention during the speech was given to the importance of ESG initiatives and sustainable financing, which foster climate responsibility and create new opportunities for implementing educational projects. Zhomart Mominbayev highlighted that refining the GRI standard regarding Climate Change Education, Awareness, and Action will enable businesses to adapt effectively to climate challenges and become a driving force in addressing them.
Following the sessions at the Qatar Pavilion, representatives of TGS met with the Qatar Fund for Development (QFFD), whose mission includes strengthening local and international cooperation and partnerships to achieve greater impact. TGS and QFFD representatives agreed to continue collaboration on green technology projects and educational initiatives.
