The event is organized together with Kazakhstan's Foreign Ministry, the Atyrau regional administration, and the ecological non-governmental organization (NGO) "Globus". The hearing will bring attention to the economic-environmental rehabilitation of the Caspian Sea region and the need to put an end to oil spills. This issue has raised concern because of the expected large-scale industrial exploration and extraction of oil in the environmentally vulnerable shelf zone of the Caspian. Recommendations will be submitted to the government and parliament and will be disseminated to the wider public. Participants will include representatives of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, Energy and Mineral Resources, Justice, as well as parliamentarians, members of regional state structures, representatives of oil companies operating in the Caspian Sea, and NGOs. |
