on the topic:

“Strategy for the Transition of the National Economy to a Resource-Saving Model of Economic Development” 

INFORMATION LETTER (Call for Papers)

          In the context of increasing instability in the global economy, growing geopolitical risks, and intensified global competition, the transition to resource-saving models of economic development is regarded as one of the priority directions of national and international economic policy. The rational and efficient use of natural, economic, financial, and human resources is recognized as a key prerequisite for ensuring sustainable and inclusive economic growth, as well as for achieving environmental sustainability and environmental protection objectives.
At the International Climate Forum held on April 4, 2025, in Samarkand, the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Sh. M. Mirziyoyev, underscored that the Republic of Uzbekistan is consistently advancing toward a resource-saving and environmentally sustainable model of economic development.        The “Uzbekistan–2030” Strategy defines a comprehensive set of priority goals and objectives aimed at reducing the resource and energy intensity of the national economy, facilitating the transition to a green economy, significantly expanding the use of renewable energy sources, enhancing the efficiency of land and water resource utilization, promoting the wide-scale adoption of resource-saving and energy-efficient technologies in production processes, as well as mitigating the adverse impacts of climate change and achieving a substantial improvement in environmental conditions.
The international scientific and practical conference is aimed at identifying current challenges associated with the transition of the national economy to a resource-saving development model, as well as at developing scientifically grounded solutions to these challenges, analyzing best international practices in this area, and expanding international scientific cooperation.
Within the framework of the conference, discussions are also envisaged on the formation and implementation of resource-saving models of economic development that meet contemporary global standards, as well as on the advancement of research and development activities in this field.
The outcomes of the conference are expected to contribute to the development and implementation of mechanisms aimed at ensuring resource conservation within the national economy, accelerating innovation-driven development processes, and strengthening corporate, scientific, and international cooperation.
The objective of the conference is to develop scientifically grounded proposals and practical recommendations for the formulation and implementation of a strategy for transitioning the national economy to a resource-saving development model aimed at ensuring sustainable economic growth.
