Summary/Abstract: In this article, the author attempts to define the term green diplomacy. In the research paper several issues are being discussed, mainly ecological problems in Kazakhstan, their transboundary nature as well as the internal and external dimensions of realising the ecological policy. The main goal of this article is presenting the importance of green diplomacy in foreign policy of Kazakhstan. In the article two hypotheses are being adopted. Firstly, green diplomacy is used by Kazakh authorities instrumentally in order to build the country’s positive image on the international scene. Secondly, green diplomacy is also an important factor in the process of strengthening ecological security of Kazakhstan.
