single industrial region, and their solution is not easy and requires enormous 
efforts. requires. 
In order to eliminate these consequences and join the ranks of developed 
countries, Uzbekistan needs to focus on comprehensive modernization and 
urbanization of the country in the long term. Relying more on renewable energy 
sources, reducing the use of traditional energy sources - coal and gas. By the 
middle of our century, the main mines of the republic, which were opened during 
the Soviet period, will be almost completely exhausted. The future of cotton 
farming is also uncertain. After gaining independence, the government of 
Uzbekistan reduced cotton production and increased food production in order to 
provide the republic with basic food products. However, in the future, in the 
development of cotton and agriculture, Uzbekistan may face unplanned 
difficulties as a result of the implementation of hydropower projects in 
neighboring countries. 
In this regard, Uzbekistan should rely on renewable energy sources. For 
example, in Germany, about 8% of electricity is produced by wind farms and 5% 
by solar panels. The share of alternative energy sources in the production of 
electricity in this country is not very large, but the need for electricity in 
Uzbekistan is ten times less than in super-industrial Germany, which increases the 
role of renewable energy sources in the case of Uzbekistan. Also, Uzbekistan 
should bet on its other unlimited resource - human capital. Today's international 
experts say that it is necessary to make proper use of human resources by 
increasing the country's potential, income, knowledge and skills, making it the 
main factor of development.
