ract The article describes the need, nature and goals of Uzbekistan's transition to a "green" economy in 2019-2030. In our country, many types of natural resources (natural gas, oil and coal) will be used up within 15-20 years. The limit of water resources is 53.5 billion cubic meters, while according to environmental experts this figure should be 68 billion cubic meters. Otherwise, the area of wheat, cotton, rice and another agricultural land will have to be reduced. In addition, global warming leads to the evaporation of water and creates water shortages. Relevant issues are the transition from thermal energy to renewable energy sources, normalization of CO2 emissions and reduction of carbon-dependent enterprises, rational use of land, protection of the environment and preservation of biodiversity. The concept of transition to the green economy is of particular importance for each country, depending on the level of socio-economic development of the country.
