It is increasingly evident that the modern world is profoundly interconnected, implying that any action, particularly those related to nature, will inevitably have repercussions across the globe. The aggravation of global issues has underscored the imperative need for the international development and adoption of guidelines and goals to facilitate the transition to sustainable development.

The foundation of the concept of human rights is rooted in core values such as human dignity and equality. Human rights can be viewed as fundamental norms essential for the attainment of self-esteem. Their universality is derived from their applicability to all individuals, transcending differences among people.

The UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights outlines the fundamental principles of human rights.

Guided by these principles, Uzbekistan, in its process of renewal as a sovereign state, is steadfastly advancing to safeguard the rights and freedoms of its citizens, construct a robust national statehood, and uphold the principles of the rule of law. This commitment extends to protecting the sanctity of life, freedom, honor, and dignity of individuals, along with other inviolable rights.

The development strategy of the New Uzbekistan, crafted and articulated by our country's President, envisions the establishment of a forward-thinking economic landscape and the construction of a society characterized by freedom and prosperity through new economic relations. At the heart of all economic transformations and innovations lies the objective of fostering equal conditions for realizing entrepreneurial initiatives among the populace. The goal is to build a system that facilitates the enhancement of people's well-being and ensures sustainable development.

Uzbekistan holds substantial potential for renewable energy, with approximately 97% derived from solar sources. As a sunny country, Uzbekistan is strategically positioned to prioritize the development of solar photovoltaic stations (PVS) for energy generation. The current solar generation potential ranges from 525 to 760 billion kWh, owing to the nation's 320 sunny days per year, each averaging 3,000 hours of active sunshine. Envisioning a sustainable future, Uzbekistan plans to increase the share of "green" energy to 8,000 MW by 2026, leading to a reduction of 5 million tons in carbon dioxide emissions. Additionally, by 2030, the goal is to double energy efficiency and achieve a minimum of 25% renewable energy in the economy.

Uzbekistan, located in the heart of Central Asia, has historically served as a melting pot of cultures and civilizations, owing to its crucial role in the Silk Road. Its diverse history reflects a fusion of empires, nomadic influences, and varied cultures that have shaped the region over millennia. However, despite its strategic location and potential, Uzbekistan has often lingered on the periphery of global discussions, failing to fully realize its international potential. Nevertheless, a transformative shift has become evident recently.
