Abstract
Annotation.This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the impact of the global greenhouse effect on the climate and socio-economic development of the Atyrau region, a key area in Kazakhstan focused on hydrocarbon extraction and processing.The objective was to identify long-term climate trends, assess their influence on major economic sectors and local livelihoods, and outline strategic priorities for climate adaptation and mitigation.Using meteorological data from 2000 to 2022, a statistical analysis revealed a steady rise in average annual temperatures and a decline in annual precipitation, indicating increasing aridity.These climate changes have had marked negative effects on agriculture, water resources, and the energy sector.Specifically, they have led to reduced crop yields, growing water scarcity, and increased energy consumption for air conditioning.The findings underscore the urgency of adopting a coordinated adaptation and mitigation strategy.The study recommends the development of an integrated regional policy involving government bodies, businesses, scientific institutions, and the public.This approach aims to strengthen climate resilience and ensure the sustainable socioeconomic development of the Atyrau region in the face of ongoing global climate change.
