Government Initiatives and Policies in the Field of Green Economy

«Green» economy has become a central theme in Uzbekistan’s national agenda. President Shavkat Mirziyoyev has issued a number of decrees and initiatives that provide a clear «roadmap» for the transition to a green economy. These directives cover a wide range of measures, including:

Promoting renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

Implementing energy efficiency measures in all sectors of the economy.

Creating a national waste management system with a focus on recycling and waste reduction.

Preserving and restoring natural ecosystems, including forests, wetlands, and water resources.

Investing in green technologies and infrastructure to support sustainable economic development.

In Uzbekistan, the protection of human rights and freedoms has become the main criterion for ensuring the rule of law

In the context of modern globalization, the protection of human and citizen rights and freedoms, as well as their legitimate interests within a country's territory, becomes particularly significant for every nation. Ensuring human rights, social cohesion, and the guarantee of well-being are leading contemporary strategies aligned with the "theory of social contract." In recent years, systematic efforts have been undertaken to strengthen the legislative and organizational-legal framework for human rights protection, integrate international standards into national legislation, and fulfill international obligations.

Digitalization of agriculture in Uzbekistan increases the competitiveness of the industry

Modern challenges such as the rapid growth of the global population, the adverse effects of climate change, and the current geopolitical situation demand increased efficiency and sustainability in the agricultural sector of every nation. In addressing these issues, the digitalization of agriculture, optimization of management, and implementation of information technologies play a crucial role. These advancements enhance labor productivity and ensure the competitiveness of the agricultural industry.

Uzbekistan shares the experience of mahalla as a unique model of self-government and social development

It is based on the Samarkand Declaration adopted during the International Conference "The Role of Mahalla in Improving the Living Standards of the Population", which was held from 2 to 5 October 2024 in Samarkand.

What is important for Uzbekistan in international and regional counter-terrorism cooperation

In today's challenging times, the fight against terrorism remains one of the most important tasks for the international community. In this context, the joint search for effective solutions to combat this dangerous phenomenon, which knows no borders, nationality, or religion, has become especially relevant.

It is noteworthy that recently, an integral part of the foreign policy of the Republic of Uzbekistan has been the creation of effective mechanisms for counter-terrorism cooperation. This cooperation aims to strengthen security, protect citizens, and combat extremism.
