The rising environmental issues (experienced by the world around) have put the idea of the green economy on the front burners of the policy and scholarly debates. In the context of economies inches to balance between economic growth and environmental integrity, green economy frameworks present fresh answers to the problem, through favoring low-carbon economies, wise use of natural resources, and social inclusivity. The research in the paper explores the principles or foundings, pragmatic advantages, or drawbacks on how to implement green economies’ problems at least in the developing countries like Uzbekistan. Via empirical analysis, comparative examples of cases, and strategic models, policy approaches aiming at aligning the dynamics of economic development with environmental stewardship are dredged up. On the basis of the given study, the conclusion is reached that it is impossible to develop sustainable in the 21st century unless making the transition to green economic systems with the background of inclusive policies, green finance, and international collaboration
