Green Corridor Planner Guidelines, Almaty Agglomeration, Kazakhstan

Almaty Agglomeration is a large territory in Central Asia, located in a region with a sharply continental climate characterized by cold winters and dry summers. The area includes diverse ecological zones ranging from deserts to mountain meadows and forests, creating varied microclimates and valuable landscapes. However, specific landscapes require tailored approaches: while the mountains offer a better microclimate, they pose a risk of landslides, and in the desert, high aridity and potential summer droughts must be considered. This report serves as a comprehensive, practical guide to support the Almaty City and Almaty Oblast Akimats in planning and implementing green corridors for landscape restoration and enhanced climate resilience
