CAREC provides innovations for sustainable development in Central Asia. It acts as an institutional innovation and platform to introduce innovative projects/programs. As a catalyzer, CAREC introduces approaches like NAMAs for mitigation actions. It also incubates innovations like winning an award for sustainable watershed management integrating payments for ecosystem services and reducing emissions from deforestation. CAREC operates in all 5 Central Asian states from its headquarters in Almaty and promotes transforming the region away from extractive industries towards new development patterns.
