Abstract

Rapid economic growth, acceleration of urbanization processes, improvement of the economic component of people’s lives led to a significant increase in production forces and the number of vehicles, which provoked an aggravation of environmental problems. These circumstances led to a special public interest in the problems of ecology and environmental protection, which created the appropriate prerequisites for the “greening” of the new version of the Constitution of the Republic of Uzbekistan in 2023. The Constitution, which is the most important, main normative legal act of the country, reflects the main values and priorities of state policy. The article emphasizes the correctness of strengthening the constitutional and legal foundations of environmental protection, as well as giving constitutional and legal status to environmental rights of citizens.

The work analyzes in detail the novelties of the Uzbek Basic Law concerning environmental protection issues, and notes their importance in the legal regulation of public relations in the field of ecology. Four main directions of constitutional regulation of environmental legal relations have been identified, which generally correspond to the best practices of foreign countries.

Scientific methods such as historical, systemic, and comparative analysis were used in the preparation of the work.

The author conducts a detailed comparative analysis of the environmental provisions of the basic laws of foreign countries, systematizing them into separate groups. The issue of the upcoming tasks for the implementation of the introduced “green” norms of the new version of the Constitution of Uzbekistan is being considered. It is argued that a critical revision of the current legislation is to be carried out in order to consolidate in it specific mechanisms for the full implementation of constitutional innovations and to detail the procedure and procedure for their implementation.
