Today, the concept of environmental protection and sustainable development has become a pressing issue worldwide. A green economy is an economic model aimed at ensuring environmental safety along with increasing economic growth and social well-being. Uzbekistan, not staying aloof from global trends, is integrating the principles of a green economy into its development strategy. Today, the whole world is looking for new approaches to solving global environmental problems and ensuring social well-being. The concept ofsustainable development plays an important rolein this process. Sustainable development includes not only economic growth and social well-being, but also ensuring environmental safety. The green economy is emerging as an integral part of sustainable development. Its main goal is to achieve economic and environmental sustainability through the development of environmentally friendly technologies, expanding the use of renewable energy sources, reducing waste, and usingresources efficiently. The main feature of the green economy is that it is aimed at implementing economic development without harming the environment. This model manifests itself in many areas: creating new jobs, protecting the environment, increasing energy efficiency, and strengthening social well-being. Therefore, the green economy is recognized as an indispensable tool in today's global development processes. A green economy is achieving economic growth through the efficient use of resources, reducing carbon emissions, transitioning to energy-efficient technologies, and maintaining ecological balance. Thegreen economy is based onthefollowing basicprinciples: •Environmentally friendly economic activity; •Resource conservation and reuse; •Ensuring social equality; •Transition to sustainableenergy sources; •Development of innovativetechnologies. The Republic of Uzbekistan adopted the "Strategy for Transition to a Green Economy" in 2019. Thefollowing areas are identified withinthe framework of thisstrategy: •Development of renewable energy sources: Construction of solarandwind power plants. •Saving and efficient management ofwater resources: Introduction ofmodern irrigation systems. •Wastereduction and recycling: Constructionofrecycling plants and waste sortingsystems. • Development of ecological transport: Widespread introduction of electric vehicles and creation oftheirinfrastructure. 309 INTERNATIONAL MULTIDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL FOR RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT SJIF2019:5.2222020:5.5522021:5.6372022:5.4792023:6.5632024:7,805 eISSN:2394-6334 https://www.ijmrd.in/index.php/imjrd Volume12,issue05(2025) The main task of the green economy is to ensure environmental safety. On this path, the development of renewable energy sources, reduction of waste, rational use of resources, and improvement of the state of natural resources play an important role. For example, as a result of the use of clean energy sources such as solar and wind, the need for traditional energy is reduced and emissions of harmful gases into the air are reduced. This will help slow down the process of climate change. At the same time, the Green Economy aims to achieve economic development without causing environmental damage. The introduction of green technologies and increased energy efficiency will create new jobs and stimulate economic growth. For example, renewable energy and green infrastructure projects will not only create jobs, but also reduce energy and resourceconsumption in thelong term. The application of the principles of the green economy in Uzbekistan will lead to the following
