On the windswept plains of northern Kazakhstan’s Akmola region, over 40 wind turbines harness Siberian gusts to generate more than 800million kilowatt-hours of clean electricity each year.
This initiative, a flagship of high-quality Belt and Road cooperation between China and Kazakhstan, reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 650,000tonnes annually—powering local communities with green energy and cutting the region’s carbon footprint.
China has emerged as a leader in photovoltaic and wind power generation. According to Almas Chukin, a prominent Kazakh economist, this project showcases the practical benefits of renewable technology across borders.
“Seeing a number of wind turbines standing on the land of Kazakhstan, I believe that in the future, humans will live on a cleaner planet where the sky is bluer and the water is clearer,” Chukin said.
For China, this project reflects a wider vision: connecting its own development with global progress and linking the future of humanity with the Earth’s ecosystems. China has long advocated for an open, inclusive, clean and beautiful world built on lasting peace, common security and shared prosperity.
As technology enthusiasts and young global citizens look on, the Kazakhstan wind farm stands as a testament to how international cooperation can tackle climate change and spark sustainable growth across continents.
