The urgency of transitioning toward a green economy has brought to the fore the role of innovative financial instruments and capital market frameworks. For Uzbekistan, where economic reforms and sustainable development goals converge, green financing represents both a necessity and an opportunity. This article explores the prospects for developing green financing practices through Uzbekistan's capital market, using insights from international organizations and national initiatives. It identifies key achievements, institutional gaps, regulatory needs, and strategic opportunities to mobilize green investments at scale.
