The report provides a comprehensive analysis of Uzbekistan's environmental state from 2012 to 2022, utilizing the Drivers-Pressures-State-Impacts-Responses (DPSIR) framework. It highlights critical challenges including severe water scarcity, land degradation, and the ongoing Aral Sea crisis, while noting improvements in protected area coverage and the adoption of green energy. The document emphasizes the link between environmental degradation and public health, particularly in the Aral Sea region, and details national strategies to mitigate climate change and improve waste management.

• Uzbekistan is experiencing significant climate vulnerability, with average annual temperatures rising by 1.6°C from 1880 to the present, exceeding the global average.
• The country faces extreme water stress, ranking 25th out of 164 countries in terms of high water scarcity.
• Agricultural irrigation is the primary consumer of water resources, accounting for approximately 90% of total usage.
• Air pollution is driven largely by mobile sources, with vehicles contributing approximately 63% of total emissions; in Tashkent, mobile sources account for 88% of emissions.
• The Aral Sea has shrunk drastically, with its volume decreasing from 1,083 km³ in 1960 to 69.31 km³.
• Land degradation is severe, with 70% of the country consisting of arid and semi-arid lands, and 70% of pastures currently degraded.
• Uzbekistan has expanded its protected natural areas to 6.321 million hectares, covering 14.08% of the country's total area.
• Greenhouse gas emissions decreased by 0.6% relative to 2013 levels, with the energy sector contributing 76% and agriculture 18% of total emissions.
• The country aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions per unit of GDP by 35% by 2030 compared to 2010 levels.
• Waste management remains a challenge; while municipal waste collection coverage reached 86%, most waste is still disposed of in landfills.
• Public health in the Aral Sea region is severely impacted, with high rates of respiratory diseases, anemia, cancer, and kidney disease linked to environmental pollution.
• The 'Green Space' (Yashil Makon) national project aims to plant 200 million trees and shrubs annually until 2030.
• Uzbekistan is transitioning to green energy, with a target to reach 27 GW of renewable energy capacity by 2030.
