The rapid expansion of industrial enterprises and urbanization has significantly intensified anthropogenic pressures on the environment. The 21st century has witnessed critical environmental issues, including air pollution, resource depletion, global warming, deforestation, and biodiversity loss. This paper explores the concept of ecological sustainable development (ESD), its fundamental principles, and strategies for implementation, with a particular focus on Uzbekistan. The study analyzes key environmental challenges in the country, government policies, and large-scale initiatives such as the “Yashil Makon” project and afforestation in the Aral Sea region. Additionally, the potential of renewable energy sources and international best practices for achieving sustainability are discussed[1].
