Abstract
The Presidential Decree primarily addresses the national environmental policy framework, emphasizing the continuation and expansion of the 'Yashil Makon' (Green Uzbekistan) National Project. It aims to enhance forest management, increase green areas, combat desertification, and promote environmental sustainability. The policy operates within a legal context that involves amendments to existing presidential decrees and legislation, with explicit objectives to improve ecological conditions, increase forest seed production, and involve public participation in greening initiatives. Key measures include setting targets for increasing the quality and quantity of tree planting, establishing mechanisms for public involvement in afforestation activities, and allocating land for green spaces such as gardens and parks. The document mandates the creation of a forest inventory, the protection of forest fund land, and the development of a Road Map for forest and green zone expansion. It also stipulates the establishment of an electronic monitoring platform by September 2026 to oversee implementation. Additionally, it emphasizes the training of environmental professionals through educational institutions and dual education systems, and specifies institutional responsibilities among ministries and agencies, notably the Forestry Agency and the Ministry of Environment. The document details procedural steps for land protection, public participation, and monitoring, with mechanisms for legislative amendments, institutional coordination, and stakeholder engagement. It also references secondary themes such as procedural compliance, enforcement, and the integration of international environmental commitments, all explicitly outlined to ensure systematic execution of the policy objectives.
