On March 12, 2026, 91��ý KazNU hosted an event aimed at implementing the UN Sustainable Development Goals. A.S. Bazarbaeva, assistant professor in the Department of Russian Philology and World Literature, and first-year students from the Faculty of Biology held an event within the framework of SDG 12 – "Responsible Consumption and Production."

The event's goal was to develop students' conscious understanding of the dangers of climate change caused by human activity on the environment. Students vigorously discussed the causes of climate change, which stem from unjustified and uncoordinated actions in construction, manufacturing, and industry, leading to carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere.

Particular attention was paid to greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing companies and the fight against climate risks. The transition to a "green economy" was considered as one solution to the current situation, which generated keen interest among the event participants.

The event focused on the consequences of further violations of construction regulations and the importance of responsible use of natural resources.

In their presentations, students highlighted the potential consequences—rising global temperatures, which could lead to reduced yields for all crops. They further noted that carbon dioxide emissions have increased to a critical level of 50 percent.

The event featured a full-scale discussion of the issues causing climate change. The presentations were supported by presentations that helped visualize the scale of environmental damage.

The presentations were supported by presentations that helped visualize the scale of environmental damage. The discussion was designed to hone the speakers' public speaking skills, their ability to express their position, and their ability to defend their point of view. Many suggestions for improving the current situation were made, but the biology students proposed and supported the idea of a smooth transition to a "green economy." Various proposals for implementing a "green economy" were presented in a Venn diagram format, allowing for a visual comparison of similarities and differences.

The event ranged from the current state of nature to the use of production methods proposed by leading manufacturing organizations that harness the power of nature without the need for machinery. The review of the diagrams was lively, and each participant was able to contribute their perspective on comparing and addressing the environmental challenges that had arisen.

This event utilized active discussion methods, and a spirited debate resulted in a unified solution that would help resolve the environmental issue. It's important for students to recognize that they are actively participating in society and that they, too, can contribute to solving such global issues.

The Venn diagram also reflected the true state of environmental disasters, visually identified in diagram format, which need to be addressed in the near future. Biology students felt a sense of ownership in preventing potential environmental disasters; they not only discussed existing problems but also proposed their own solutions. Future biologists were given the opportunity to connect with the problems that have arisen, thereby understanding their essence and taking appropriate action to address them.
