GREEN ECONOMY TRANSITION IN UZBEKISTAN: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

: The transition to a green economy has become an important priority for achieving sustainable economic growth and environmental sustainability. This study examines the opportunities and challenges associated with Uzbekistan’s green economy transition within the framework of national development strategies and environmental reforms. The research is based on a theoretical-practical approach and applies literature review, policy analysis, comparative analysis, and system-based assessment methods. The findings indicate that Uzbekistan has significant opportunities for renewable energy development, green investment attraction, resource efficiency improvement, and green job creation. However, challenges such as water scarcity, climate change impacts, high investment costs, technological dependence, and institutional limitations continue to affect the effectiveness of green transformation. The study concludes that the successful implementation of green economy reforms requires stronger financial support, technological modernization, and institutional capacity building. Several policy recommendations are proposed to enhance the effectiveness and sustainability of Uzbekistan’s green development agenda.向绿色经济转型已成为实现可持续经济增长与环境可持续性的重要优先事项。本研究在国家发展战略与环境改革的框架下，考察分析乌兹别克斯坦绿色经济转型相关的机遇与挑战。本研究采用理论与实践相结合的研究范式，运用文献综述、政策分析、比较分析以及系统评估等研究方法。研究结果表明，乌兹别克斯坦在可再生能源开发、绿色引资、资源效率提升以及绿色就业岗位创造等领域拥有可观的发展机遇。但与此同时，水资源短缺、气候变化影响、高额投资成本、技术依赖以及制度局限等挑战，仍持续制约着绿色转型的实施成效。本研究认为，若要顺利推进绿色经济改革，需强化财政支持、推动技术现代化并加强制度能力建设。本研究据此提出多项政策建议，以提升乌兹别克斯坦绿色发展议程的实施成效与可持续性。
