The main goal of the initiative, which brought together 2000 enthusiasts, was to improve the condition of the native land and the environment by raising the level of environmental culture among young people.
SUSTAINABLE PATH is an educational initiative aimed at fostering the younger generation's respect for their native land through the inculcation of cultural, moral and environmental values. This program is a continuation of four cycles of the project successfully implemented by the Kazakhstan National Federation of Clubs for UNESCO in collaboration with the general partner Bank CenterCredit and the official partner Chevron company, as well as the Shymbulak Mountain Resort.
According to Bolat Akchulakov, President of the Federation of Clubs for UNESCO: “SUSTAINABLE PATH is one of the organization's key projects in the field of sustainable development, which consists of several stages and brings together many partners and experts from different fields around youth development. Over the years, it has proven its worth and is expanding scale every time!”.
The Global Clean-up Day represents an important stage in the implementation of the eco campaign. For example, residents of the capital joined this noble initiative and collected 2.5 tons of waste on the territory near Taldykol lake.
"It is a great pleasure for us to participate for the first time in the Global Nationwide Clean-up Day within the framework of SUSTAINABLE PATH. This eco-campaign shows the importance of caring for nature and the environment for all generations. We believe that this initiative will become a tradition and will make a significant contribution to fostering a responsible attitude towards the world around us," said Gulchokhra Makhmetova, a participant of the environmental campaign.

In turn, an initiative group of residents of Almaty collected 1 ton of garbage at the Shymbulak Mountain resort, which is located in the Ile-Alatau National Park. Plastic bottles, paper, glass, household and other types of waste were carefully sorted and transferred to local companies for recycling.
During the event, the Kazakhstan Federation of Clubs for UNESCO and the Shymbulak Mountain Resort signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at building long-term cooperation in the field of sustainable tourism, environmental protection and preservation of natural resources.
