    The Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan "On priority measures to combat dust storms and improve the quality of atmospheric air" (PP No. 338 dated 09/24/2024) was adopted.

    According to the Resolution, the conceptual framework for the organization of the Central Asian Green Fund and the Center for Climate Issues of Central Asia will be developed with the discussion of this issue with the Central Asian States.

    Starting in 2030, enterprises producing thermal and electric energy located in the territory of the city of Tashkent and in the adjacent territories of the Tashkent region will be prohibited from using fuel oil as fuel.

    In order to reduce the negative environmental impact of the coal fuel used, dust-collecting and gas-cleaning equipment will be installed in more than 1,200 greenhouses located in areas adjacent to the city of Tashkent, as well as a mechanism for allocating subsidies to greenhouses for the installation of this equipment.

    In 2025-2030, a "green belt" and "green gardens" will be created on lands with a total area of 441 hectares in the city of Tashkent and in the adjacent territories of the Tashkent region.

    From 2028, the use and sale of motor fuels of an environmental category below the Euro-4 standard will be phased out, the Ministry of Justice reports.
