Digital environmental security in the Republic of Kazakhstan

This article considers the issue of legal regulation of the digitalization of the environment in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The author analyses the current state of the environmental problem, digital environmental security and digital ecosystem in the development and implementation of new technologies. An analysis of international practice and the experience of the Russian Federation in the implementation of programmes for the digitalization of environmental security at the regional level is also given. Current environmental problems and the environmental crisis in various regions of our country and around the world cause the need to find new solutions using digital ecology and legality. Following the adoption of the new Environmental Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan in 2021, the country has embarked on a course of environmental reform, and this requires the adoption of smart solutions, including the use of digital ecology and legitimacy. Digital transformation affects data protection and security, information technology, technical design, liability and regulatory issues. Therefore, a comprehensive study of the legal regulation of digitalisation of the environment and its accessibility, the study of the conceptual framework, the legal mechanisms for establishing digital platforms for storing stocks of environmental information, the digitalisation and cybersecurity issues of environmental protection are much needed.
