The Concept of Green Public Procurement and its Role in The Development of A Green Economy
Abstract
The development of green public procurement (GPP) legal structure and execution mechanisms in Uzbekistan receives evaluation in this article while discussing its contribution to establishing a green economy. This evaluation presents the strategic capabilities of GPP that help decrease environmental effects while preserving budget costs and leading to sustainable economic and environmental results. Evaluation of Uzbekistan's green procurement practices and its current status uses document analysis as well as statistical data collection with comparative methods to assess progress and challenges. GPP demonstrates value in protecting the environment and improving efficiency but its implementation remains minimal because current regulations lack support and professionals do not have appropriate competency levels. A key recommendation from the article emphasizes the necessity to boost public engagement and demonstrates how better standards in procurement can occur by establishing vital international financial partnerships. Sustainable development goals and local green market expansion alongside environmental impact reduction become achievable through GPP's proper implementation. Excellent policy recommendations focus on strengthening regulations combined with staff training programs that will improve public contract green procurement levels toward achieving the "Uzbekistan - 2030" strategic sustainability goals.
