Main Article Content
Abstract
Global climate change is causing environmental problems around the world, with cities particularly affected the most. For example, Tashkent, the capital of Uzbekistan, is experiencing serious environmental pressures due to rising temperatures, increased air pollution, water shortages, and the urban heat island effect. This article examines the environmental challenges posed by climate change in Tashkent, analyzes current data and municipal responses, and proposes mitigation and adaptation strategies. The results show that although some initiatives are being implemented, comprehensive urban planning is important for protecting the environment and public health of Tashkent in the context of ongoing climate changes.
