In today's world, we are not just witnesses but active participants in the profound global transformations occurring in both society and nature. The intricate interconnectivity of the modern world emphasizes that any action taken, especially those impacting the environment, ripples across every corner of the Earth. As global challenges escalate, the imperative for international guidelines and goals promoting sustainable development becomes increasingly apparent.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) serve as a universal call to action, uniting countries regardless of their development status or available resources. These goals focus on enhancing human well-being and safeguarding the natural environment from the consequences of unrestrained resource consumption. The urgency to adopt and implement these SDGs arises from the worsening global issues in our collective journey toward a sustainable future.

Freedom of speech, opinion and information is a fundamental human right. According to Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes the freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers. In addition, Arthur Sulzberger, publisher of The New York Times, noted that without free speech and reliable information, the rules of democracy and public trust will continue to crumble. In this regard, the role of the media is increasingly important, since free and independent media play a crucial role in ensuring democratic changes.

The media field in Uzbekistan has undergone big changes in recent years. Especially in matters of public control, ensuring transparency in the activities of State bodies, shaping public opinion and strengthening democratic values.
