This article examines the theoretical and practical aspects of developing a green economy under conditions of climate change. Climate change is considered one of the most urgent global challenges affecting economic and environmental stability. The study analyzes Uzbekistan’s national strategies and policy frameworks related to environmental sustainability. A comparative analysis is conducted with the experiences of the European Union, Germany, and Sweden. Special attention is given to the impact of green economic transition on energy efficiency and national competitiveness. The role of renewable energy sources in ensuring sustainable development is substantiated. On this basis, practical proposals for Uzbekistan were developed.
