| Summary: | This report is an extended Country
Environmental Assessment that identifies key issues and
priorities for action as Uzbekistan transitions to a
sustainable and inclusive market economy. Land degradation,
water stress, and air pollution from particulate matter are
the main environmental issues, with additional
socio-economic risks to the country from its high energy and
carbon intensity and the impact of climate change on
vulnerable communities. The report analyzes strategies for
greening the economic transition, including resource
efficiency and landscape restoration, the low-carbon
transition, resilience against natural disasters and climate
change, urban air quality and sustainable cities, green
employment and public institutions, and green finance.
Additional follow-up studies to inform detailed policy
formulation and action include distributional analysis,
adaptation strategy and planning, a Long-Term
Decarbonization Strategy, and Climate Change Institutional
Assessment, among others. |
