ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVITIES OF UZBEKISTAN IN THE CONTEXT OF IMPLEMENTATION OF OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE UN GLOBAL CONVENTIONS: HISTORY AND MODERNITY

Abstract

This article analyzes the processes of integrating the environmental policy of the Republic of Uzbekistan into international relations during the years of independence, using the country’s participation in global environmental conventions as an example. It highlights that Uzbekistan is an active participant in regional and international environmental protection processes, with cooperation carried out through the implementation of global environmental conventions—multilateral environmental agreements—as well as bilateral and multilateral agreements and memoranda. In this context, the study examines Uzbekistan’s participation in international legal instruments aimed at preventing climate change, combating desertification and land degradation, conserving biodiversity, addressing waste management issues, and other environmental challenges. In particular, it covers the implementation of obligations under the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Convention to Combat Desertification, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Ramsar Convention, and others.
