Abstract
This article explores the role of commercial banks in financing environmentally friendly
technologies, with a particular focus on small business entities. In the context of current
environmental challenges and the demands of sustainable development, the adoption of green
technologies by small businesses is of growing importance. The environmental lending instruments
offered by commercial banks play a key role in promoting ecological sustainability by providing
financial support to small business entities. The study analyzes practical cases, statistical indicators,
as well as both international and local experiences within the context of Uzbekistan. The research
findings highlight the need to further improve the mechanisms of green financing by commercial
banks and to enhance the active participation of small business entities in this process
