Abstract: Sustainability-oriented green transformation is considered an important concept in the development of modern society. It aims to integrate ecological, social, and economic systems, ensure the rational use of natural resources, and reduce negative environmental impacts.
Uzbekistan is implementing significant measures to align with global sustainability goals. The Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan pays special attention to ecological rights, ensuring that citizens not only have the right to a favorable environment but also to access reliable information about its condition. It was emphasized that the efforts of the Parliament and Government of Uzbekistan to ensure sustainable development—particularly environmental security—are being carried out with the active involvement of the public, and that innovative ideas and initiatives in this area play a significant role in combating climate change.
In 2008, the United Nations introduced the Green Economy Initiative (GEI) to strengthen the efforts of countries to increase investment in the environment. Priority is being given to modernizing the environmental monitoring system, which allows comprehensive solutions to existing problems. Clusters for the integrated management of solid household waste have been created by introducing technologies for recycling and utilization through public-private partnerships.It should be noted that the perception of sustainable development and the “green” economy, as well as ways of shaping it, varies across countries.
Although many nations are implementing programs based on the principles of the green economy, methodological approaches—including indicators and metrics—differ significantly among the European Union, North America, the Asia-Pacific region, and CIS countries. Achieving success in implementing sustainability based on the green economy largely depends on analyzing and generalizing global experiences in sustainable development, as well as designing measures tailored to each country’s unique characteristics.
Generalizing the experiences of various countries in sustainable development implies adapting the principles of the green economy and their implementation to national contexts. The main goal is to strengthen three key integrated approaches to sustainable development: economic growth, social development, and environmental protection.International experience demonstrates that the green economy stimulates regional development, supports social stability, and contributes to increased economic potential by creating new jobs in green sectors. The green economy helps promote economic progress, ensures GDP growth, increases national income, provides employment, and lowers the unemployment rate.
Today, the green economy is studied as a new branch of the economy that helps improve the natural environment of the country. In scientific literature, it is viewed as new technologies and ecosystems that support nature and generate economic benefits. The green economy represents a transition to a new stage of development aimed at producing environmentally friendly products, with the foundation built on clean or green technologies.Industrial enterprises in Uzbekistan are striving to introduce technologies aimed at energy efficiency and the effective use of resources. This process helps ensure environmental safety in industry and increases economic efficiency.
Moreover, industrial enterprises are implementing projects focused on recycling waste and producing goods from recycled materials. These efforts help reduce environmental impact and promote resource efficiency.
Uzbekistan is actively studying the experience of many foreign countries in the field of the green economy, and numerous measures are being taken within the framework of “greening” as part of national environmental policy. In particular, the shrinking of major river basins and the decline of biodiversity in the region raise serious concerns. Increased emissions of greenhouse gases and large-scale atmospheric pollution continue to exacerbate problems.
Today, no one doubts that achieving the goals of green development requires more active and effective action by countries.The green economy is an economic system whose main purpose is to preserve the planet’s ecology while developing all sectors of the economy. The green economy increases national welfare, ensures the rational use of energy resources, reduces harmful emissions, and decreases environmental costs. It is emphasized that the green economy represents a vector of sustainable development based on innovative green technologies. These technologies focus on energy and resource efficiency, as well as reducing carbon-based energy sources.
Under the initiative to ensure the transition to a green economy and establish a mechanism for assessing green growth, it is important to determine the level and coherence of activities being implemented, identify the scope and boundaries of their impact, and assess potential risks and possible negative consequences (such as pollution and ecosystem degradation).
Several indices have been developed globally to evaluate the effectiveness of countries’ efforts in the green economy. One of them is the Global Green Economy Index (GGEI), which assesses the participation of nations based on several indicators.The issue of sustainable development exists in two main directions.The first direction involves determining the development goals of society and identifying conditions necessary to achieve them.
According to the hierarchy of sustainable development goals, economic goals are positioned below societal development goals, meaning they are viewed as tools for ensuring overall sustainability.The second direction involves studying the conditions and factors that ensure sustainable economic development: determining its parameters and factors, assessing its balance, conditions, and criteria of optimality, and studying growth opportunities.
Unlike the green economy, the traditional “brown” economy is based on energy-intensive and resource-consuming production models. The transition from the traditional model of economic growth to the green economy is a global trend, determining the sustainability not only of individual national economies but also of the entire world economy. Promoting the green economy is the main path toward development.
