On July 7, 2025, Uzbekistan adopted the Law “On Limiting Greenhouse Gas Emissions,” which will enter into force in January 2026.

The Law introduces, for the first time in Uzbekistan, a legal framework for entrepreneurs to implement “green” projects, as well as for the issuance, circulation, and trading of carbon units. It establishes market-based mechanisms for determining carbon unit prices, procedures for their sale on the international market, and the maintenance of a carbon unit registry.

With this legislation, Uzbekistan joins the group of countries implementing programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by incentivizing entrepreneurs to develop and implement “green” projects.
