Abstract

This article explores the economic and legal dimensions of addressing environmental challenges in the Republic of Uzbekistan. With issues such as water scarcity, land degradation, pollution, and the Aral Sea crisis reaching critical levels, Uzbekistan must balance its economic development with environmental sustainability. The study examines current policies, legislative frameworks, and economic mechanisms designed to mitigate ecological harm, highlighting successes and challenges. Emphasis is placed on the integration of economic incentives and legal enforcement as a unified strategy for sustainable environmental governance. The article underscores the importance of international cooperation, institutional capacity building, and public awareness in tackling these pressing issues, offering insights into how Uzbekistan can align its environmental goals with global best practices for a sustainable future.
