UZBEKISTAN'S ECOLOGICAL POLICY AND PROSPECTS OF USING THE EXPERIENCE OF THE EUROPEAN UNION IN ITS IMPLEMENTATION

Abstract

In recent years, environmental security issues have risen to the level of state policy in Uzbekistan. It is emphasized from the platforms of regional and international organizations that the problems of the natural environment, the Island, peace and security are closely interrelated, and that they are gaining a global and global nature. In the Action Strategy for further development of the Republic of Uzbekistan in 2017-2021, the issue of "prevention of environmental problems that may harm the environment, population health and gene pool" is put forward. In 2019, based on the experience gained during the reforms in the field of environmental policy, the environmental movement of Uzbekistan was terminated and the environmental party of Uzbekistan was established. "This change will strengthen healthy competition in the political arena and serve to strengthen the Environmental Movement as a distinct political force." In this regard, the reorganization of the State Committee for Ecology and Environmental Protection in order to improve the state management system in the field of ecology and environmental protection is also of urgent importance. At the initiative of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, the "Strategy of Actions on the Five Priority Areas of the Development of the Republic of Uzbekistan in 2017-2021" developed based on the analysis of current legislation, law enforcement and advanced foreign experience, especially the activities of state bodies in the field of ecology and environmental protection the task of improvement was determined. This is being continued in the "Development Strategy of New Uzbekistan" for 2022-2026. Based on the concept of Uzbekistan's environmental policy, President Sh. Mirziyoyev analyzed the global and regional issues of environmental problems in their entirety at the 72nd session of the UN General Assembly. In particular, the tragedy related to the drying up of the Aral Sea as the biggest environmental disaster in Central Asia was discussed in detail. This shows that Uzbekistan's environmental policy is gaining both local and global significance.
