Аннотация

This article analyzes the relationship between the concept of the green economy, sustainable development and environmental problems. The green economy is aimed at ensuring economic growth, combining the use of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection. The article examines the importance of the green economy to address environmental issues such as global climate change, pollution, and decreased biodiversity. Also, on the example of Uzbekistan, the implementation of Sustainable Development Strategies and the economic and social benefits of the introduction of green technologies are analyzed. The challenges and opportunities faced during the transition to a green economy are also considered. The article highlights the importance of Economic Policy and public participation in addressing environmental issues and outlines measures to be taken in the future towards sustainable development. Keywords: environmental issues, sustainable development, strategy, green economy concept, private sector, green technology, innovation. Introduction. The link between the concept of a green economy, sustainable development and environmental problems is very important for modern societies. These concepts are closely related and together play an important role in solving social, economic and environmental problems. Green economics is an approach that combines economic activity with natural resource conservation and environmental Выпуск журнала №-19 Часть–4_ Февраль –2025 20 MODERN EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT improvement. This economic model, in contrast to traditional economics, aims to optimize the use of Natural Resources and reduce emissions. The main objective of the green economy is to promote economic growth, but to do so without harm to the environment. This, in turn, is one of the basic principles of sustainable development. Sustainable development refers to the conservation of resources available in the present period while meeting the needs of future generations. The concept aims to bring together social, economic and environmental aspects to ensure the sustainability of the community. Through sustainable development strategies, countries try to address environmental issues while promoting economic growth. Measures such as energy efficiency, the use of renewable energy sources and the introduction of green technologies are taken to achieve this. Environmental issues include serious issues such as global climate change, pollution, and biodiversity depletion. These problems threaten human life, and new economic approaches are needed to solve them. The concept of a green economy emerged as a response to these problems. It helps to connect economic activities with environmental sustainability and more rationally organizes human use of Natural Resources. While the transition to a green economy is considered on the example of Uzbekistan, there are a number of initiatives aimed at implementing sustainable development strategies in the country. The transition to a green economy is underway in Uzbekistan through the use of renewable energy sources, the management of Water Resources and the introduction of agroecological approaches. This will not only help solve environmental problems, but also ensure economic growth. There are also difficulties that are faced in the process of transition to a green economy. This includes updating economic infrastructure, introducing new technologies and engaging the public in the process. It is also necessary to strengthen cooperation between public policy and the private sector. In general, the connection between the concept of a green economy, sustainable development and environmental problems is important for modern societies. Together, these concepts help promote social justice and environmental sustainability. By further developing and expanding these processes in the future, humanity can succeed in solving environmental problems. Выпуск журнала №-19 Часть–4_ Февраль –2025 21 MODERN EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT The green economy concept plays an important role in addressing environmental issues such as global climate change, pollution, and biodiversity depletion. This approach, aimed at achieving economic growth without harm to the environment, is one of the basic principles of sustainable development. Global climate change is the process by which atmospheric gases increase as a result of human activity and, consequently, the Earth's climatic conditions change. This process is mainly due to the use of fossil fuels, industrial emissions and the emission of polluting gases by vehicles. The green economy, on the other hand, helps to reduce climate change by promoting the use of renewable energy and improving energy efficiency. For example, the use of solar and wind energy significantly reduces carbon dioxide emissions and mitigates adverse effects of climate change. The issue of pollution should also be taken into account in the process of transition to a green economy. Pollution of air, water
