emissions) and better overall resilience (including for the workforce). 
This might include transition 
energy pricing to reflect full costs of energy provision and internalized externalities, and developing 
social protection measures to mitigate potential negative effects on vulnerable groups. Fossil-fuel 
subsidies need to be phased out, and consideration should be given to introducing carbon pricing that 
includes social protections (e.g. using carbon pricing revenue to mitigate distributional implications for 
households, as well as to finance support for structural adjustment of workers and communities). 
5. Actively support development of green finance flows to improve resilience, encouraging longer-term 
horizon for financial decisions. 
There is a need to promote robust and transparent definitions, standards 
and taxonomies for green finance to guide financial allocations and investments. There is also a need to 
increase and improve capacities to assess, manage and publicly disclose climate change-related 
financial risks. As “green criteria” are soon to be introduced for publicly-funded investment projects, 
the same approach needs to be applied for private investments, offering private actors an enabling 
business environment, including friendly legal and institutional support, and lucrative commercial 
opportunities. Finally, the potential for public finance to catalyze private investment needs to be 
enhanced by further empowering public finance institutions, including by increasing their lending 
authority and ability to co-invest.

Provide incentives for producers, importers and exporters of green products and services, which may 
include measures such as preferential tax treatment, loan interest rate subsidies, or reduced VAT

Low import duties on equipment and goods that are not produced or produced in small scales in 
Uzbekistan may accelerate the transformation of production capacities and the process of providing 
green solutions. At the same time, selectively increasing import duties in parallel with other policy 
measures could incentivize domestic industries producing energy-efficient goods in sufficient amounts 
and with good quality. The Government could also further expand the practice of “local content 
requirements” for major foreign direct investments or projects that involve significant import of goods 
and services. Finally, banning the import of environmentally dangerous equipment and goods is an 
effective measure to fight against excessive emissions and motivate industries to adapt to new, 
sustainable ways of doing business.
