This article examines the mechanisms of industrial policy aimed at developing green consumption within the framework of transitioning to a green economy. The author theoretically analyzes the influence of environmental literacy and culture on the demand for environmentally friendly goods and services. Key instruments of industrial policy affecting green consumption are reviewed, including eco-labeling, the development of green public procurement, tax incentives, and subsidies. Regulatory measures aimed at greening production processes and increasing public awareness of environmental issues are analyzed. Special attention is paid to the experience of Uzbekistan, with examples such as solar energy subsidy programs and the introduction of environmental standards. The author highlights the importance of environmental education and awareness in shaping a sustainable consumption culture. The article presents a conceptual model illustrating the relationship between green industrial policy and sustainable consumption.References
