This article analyzes the institutional mechanisms for mitigating the environmental impact of industrial enterprises in Uzbekistan. It examines the country’s environmental legislation, monitoring systems, inspection and enforcement bodies, and public participation frameworks. The study highlights recent reforms, including the establishment of the National Committee on Ecology and Climate Change, the empowered Ecopolice, and real-time environmental monitoring platforms. Drawing on international best practices, the paper identifies opportunities for improvement, such as integrated permits, risk-based inspections, enhanced transparency and public engagement, economic instruments, capacity building, regional cooperation, and greener industrial policies. The findings emphasize the need to strengthen Uzbekistan’s institutional framework to ensure sustainable industrial development without compromising environmental protection.
