Involvement of the Government in Supporting Bioeconomy Policy in Uzbekistan From An Institutional and Legal Perspective

Abstract

This article examines the institutional and legal measures supporting bioeconomy policy in Uzbekistan, fo-cusing on strategies for transitioning to a green economy. The authors highlight key legislative frameworks, including the Strategy for Agricultural Development (2020–2030) and the Strategy for Transition to a Green Economy (2019–2030), as foundations for sustainable economic growth. Additionally, the article explores in-ternational commitments, such as Uzbekistan's ratification of the Paris Agreement, underscoring its dedica-tion to climate goals and emission reductions.

The study discusses the main challenges in developing a bioeconomy, including limited financial re-sources, public awareness, and gaps in technological infrastructure, particularly in rural regions. The authors suggest that improvements in public administration, development of sectoral statistics, and enhanced inter-national partnerships can support Uzbekistan’s bioeconomic goals. This research offers insights into Uzbeki-stan’s approach to harmonizing economic growth with environmental sustainability, providing useful per-spectives for policymakers interested in advancing bioeconomic initiatives in similar developmental contexts.
