GREEN INNOVATIONS IN UZBEKISTAN: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

Green innovations are vital for sustainable development, especially in countries like Uzbekistan, where environmental challenges such as water scarcity, energy inefficiency, and desertification are pressing issues. This paper investigates the current state of green innovations in Uzbekistan, focusing on recent initiatives in energy, agriculture, and waste management. It explores the impact of these innovations on the economy and environment and discusses the barriers to broader adoption. The findings suggest that while Uzbekistan has made significant strides in promoting green technologies, several challenges, including policy gaps, financial constraints, and a lack of public awareness, hinder full implementation.
