This article analyzes the institutional mechanisms of interaction between state institutions and non-governmental non-profit organizations in the implementation of environmental policy in Uzbekistan. The study emphasizes that contemporary environmental policy is no longer limited to administrative regulation of nature management, but increasingly represents a complex system of public governance involving the state, civil society, expert communities, local actors, and international partners. Special attention is paid to the role of NGOs in environmental education, public monitoring, local initiatives, and the formation of environmental responsibility among citizens. The article examines the current state of cooperation between the state and NGOs in the context of the “green” economy, the “Yashil Makon” nationwide project, public oversight, and international cooperation. It also identifies key institutional challenges, including insufficient systematization of NGO participation, limited resources, uneven regional development, and restricted access to environmental information. The author concludes that the further development of environmental policy in Uzbekistan requires a sustainable model of partnership based on openness, coordination, public participation, and shared responsibility for sustainable development.
