Recognizing nature and supporting its drive towards greenness is not only a moral duty but also an ecological obligation for humanity. Amid modern global climate changes, water scarcity, and environmental threats, every state and structure sets strategic goals to ensure environmental stability.
Global environmental initiatives promoted by the head of state Shavkat Mirziyoyev at the United Nations and international climate summits contribute to strengthening the foundation of green development in the country. The initiative to adopt a resolution in the UN General Assembly on 'Central Asia Facing Global Climate Threats: Solidarity on the Path to Common Prosperity,' as well as the historic step of declaring the Aral Sea region a 'zone of environmental innovation and technology,' have received support from the international community.
Achieving these high goals requires the gradual improvement of strategic tasks and a positive transformation of people's daily habits. Achieving ecological sustainability also demands enriching internal culture and efficient resource utilization.
By examining the efforts of developed countries worldwide to protect the environment, one can see that they have achieved high results through human capital management. For example, Scandinavian countries have developed a sophisticated system for encouraging voluntary ecological behavior among employees, integrated at the institutional level of corporate governance. Japan, utilizing its traditional philosophy of frugality, has implemented systems for minimizing resource losses at the individual level, integrating them with modern technologies. In Germany and the USA, the focus has been on raising the level of ecological knowledge and thinking about nature among people. Meanwhile, our neighbor China is forming green mechanisms, strictly linking environmental management standards in large industrial sectors with people's daily activities.
It cannot be overstated that thanks to the initiative of the head of state, adopted within the framework of the 'Uzbekistan–2030' strategy, increasing energy efficiency and protecting the environment have become a sustainable direction of state policy. This has accelerated the process of integrating New Uzbekistan into the world-class green energy system. This approach has awakened the potential of the country's 'dormant' green energy resources and reserves, creating conditions for awakening Uzbekistan's socio-economic and material-spiritual wealth.
Under such conditions, it is impossible to achieve the expected growth in the green energy system unless people develop ecological literacy and skills to manage investments, communication systems, and innovative technologies being implemented in various sectors of the country. Ultimately, sustainable development is possible only through joint actions and new approaches.

As part of the implementation of the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated May 30, 2024, 'On Measures to Organize Open Dialogue with Entrepreneurs,' an open meeting was held dedicated to further increasing the effectiveness of reforms in the field of justice.
The event was organized with the participation of the Presidential Administration, the Supreme Court, the Ombudsman for Business Affairs, the government of the Jizzakh region, and the regional branch of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The main goal of the meeting was to strengthen confidence in the protection of the rights and legitimate interests of entrepreneurs, expand opportunities for access to fair judicial proceedings, and assess existing problems in this sector from a practical perspective.
More than 60 lawyers, representatives of legal departments of organizations and enterprises, specialists from the banking system, employees of state institutions, and entrepreneurs themselves took part in the open dialogue. The gathering of representatives from various sectors allowed for a comprehensive analysis of issues arising in judicial and legal practice, as well as the formation of substantiated proposals for their resolution.
During the discussions, current problems in the justice system were critically analyzed. Participants presented more than 20 systemic proposals aimed at eliminating these shortcomings.
Specific proposals were voiced regarding ensuring equality of parties in courts, improving the efficiency of enforcing court decisions, perfecting tax and bankruptcy relations, developing mechanisms for pre-trial settlement of economic disputes, reliable protection of intellectual property rights, and strengthening legal guarantees in land and investment relations.
Furthermore, important issues such as tax disputes, legal relations in the field of utility services, the practice of applying state customs control, advertising legislation, energy efficiency, technical errors in the cadastral system, and other problems affecting the activities of business entities were also the focus. This allowed for a comprehensive assessment of factors influencing the business environment.
It is important to note that the issues raised at the meeting were not limited to merely documenting existing difficulties. They were also analyzed in terms of improving the practical application of law, further developing legislation in accordance with life needs, and strengthening legal relations between state bodies and business.
Following the event, all submitted proposals were summarized and forwarded to the relevant responsible organizations for implementation in the established manner, with the aim of improving current legislation, providing more reliable protection of the rights and legitimate interests of entrepreneurs, and increasing the effectiveness of reforms in the field of justice.
Such open dialogues are of great importance as a practical embodiment of the principle established by the head of state: 'The interests of the individual and the rights of the entrepreneur are at the center of state policy.' Primarily, direct dialogue between business and state structures contributes to improving law enforcement practice based on real needs, strengthening confidence in the justice system, and increasing the country's investment attractiveness.
To ensure the implementation of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan's decision dated October 6, 2025, strengthen the material and technical base of the consumer rights protection system, and increase the efficiency of handling appeals, official vehicles were transferred to the Kashkadarya region.
The Federation of Consumer Protection Societies of Uzbekistan transferred modern official transport to the regional association of the Kashkadarya region. Specifically, 'Tracker' brand cars were transferred to the consumer protection societies of the cities of Koson and Mirishkor, while 'Onix' brand cars were transferred to the consumer protection societies of the Kashkadarya region.
These vehicles play an important role in timely study of citizens' appeals on-site, organizing field receptions, conducting public monitoring, promptly investigating cases of consumer rights violations, as well as expanding the scope of legal consultations for the population. Furthermore, they enhance the ability to provide prompt and quality assistance to residents of remote areas.
Currently, the federal system pays special attention to protecting the legitimate rights and interests of consumers, resolving appeals in the shortest possible time, improving public control mechanisms, and working with the population locally.
Strengthening the material and technical base contributes to increasing the efficiency of territorial units' activities and improving the quality and speed of public service.
