Introduction One of the most pressing challenges facing humanity today is the disruption of ecological balance and the depletion of natural resources. The green economy is an economic system aimed at protecting the environment, efficient use of resources, and achieving sustainable development. Transitioning to a green economy and achieving sustainability is possible with the help of information technology. These technologies assist in improving energy efficiency, conserving resources, reducing waste, and implementing environmental monitoring. The integration of IT and the green economy plays a significant role not only in protecting the environment but also in ensuring economic growth. In Uzbekistan, complex measures are being gradually implemented to deepen structural changes, modernize and diversify the basic sectors of the economy, and ensure balanced socio-economic development across regions. For instance, the Presidential Decree No. PQ-4477 dated October 4, 2019, approved the 'Strategy for Transition to a Green Economy in the Republic of Uzbekistan for 2019– 2030.' In 2018, Uzbekistan ratified the Paris Agreement adopted on December 12, 2015, committing to reduce specific greenhouse gas emissions per unit of GDP by 10% compared to 2010 levels by 2030. However, insufficient energy efficiency, irrational use of natural resources, slow technological innovation, and the low involvement of small businesses in implementing innovative green solutions pose serious obstacles to achieving the country's sustainable development goals. To overcome these challenges, it is essential to apply low-carbon development and resource-saving principles across all economic sectors, introduce clean and efficient technologies, and integrate approaches based on sustainable agriculture.

Global warming, air and water pollution, and the increasing volume of waste are steering humanity toward green, i.e., environmentally friendly and sustainable technologies. The concept of a 'green' economy gained widespread attention in academic literature in 1989 through the UK report 'Blueprint for a Green Economy.' It was seen as an approach that integrates economic growth with ecological sustainability and social justice. In 2008, the UNEP officially recognized the green economy concept and promoted it as a means to improve both ecological stability and economic efficiency while reducing poverty. Foreign scholars such as D. Pearce, E. Barbier, and G. Atkinson laid the theoretical foundations of the green economy concept. Researchers like Ornela Danushi, Stefano Forti, and Jacopo Soldani conducted systematic reviews of sustainable software development in ICT, while Jinsong Wu, Song Guo, Huawei Huang, William Liu, and Yong Xiang examined the impact of ICT on sustainable development goals. Local researchers such as Elshod Umarov, Ruslan Shodmonov, Sherzod Mustafakulov, A. Zokirov, Sh. Ghaniyev, and M. Turaqulov have explored Uzbekistan's transition to a green economy, the importance of government policy, legal frameworks, and the role of small and medium-sized enterprises in promoting innovation. Methodology This article employs case study methods focusing on two main approaches: green technology-oriented investments and paths to achieving sustainable development through the IT sector. In the last 15 years, new mechanisms and tools for environmentally-focused investments have been developed. The Institute of Forecasting and Macroeconomic Research has analyzed the financing of such green projects globally and in Uzbekistan. According to the latest report by the Global Landscape of Climate Finance, the total volume of climate- related financing reached $632 billion during 2019–2020. Of this, $321 billion came from public sources, while $310 billion was funded by private sources. Currently, there is a noticeable increase in the activity of “green” financing in Uzbekistan. While it was previously provided in the form of specific projects and grants from international financial institutions, in recent years other instruments such as “green” loans and bonds have also been introduced. In July 2021, the government became the first within the CIS and among the pioneers globally to issue Sovereign SDG Bonds aimed at financing the Sustainable Development Goals, placing them on the London Stock Exchange. These bonds, amounting to 2.5 trillion Uzbek soums (approximately 235 million USD) with a 14% yield, were issued for a term of three years. The funds raised are directed towards implementing activities and projects targeting nine specific national sustainable development goals, including objectives related to “green” development. American Journal of Business Management, Economics and Banking Volume 37 June- 2025 P a g e | 55 www.americanjournal.org Figure 1. Key instruments for financing “green” projects. Green financing instruments are diverse, enabling enterprises to attract investments without government involvement, derive financial benefits from “green” activities, and reduce (or eliminate) environmental pollution. In this process, information technology is becoming a vital tool. Investments directed toward the IT sector can contribute not only to technological progress but also to environmental sustainability. Green technologies are those that help reduce negative environmental impacts and promote the efficient use of energy and resources. The main types include: • Renewable energy sources (solar, wind, biogas); • Energy-saving devices and systems; • IT solutions for electronic waste recycling; • Environmental monitoring systems, i.e., technologies enabling online observation of environmental conditions. To ensure these technologies operate effectively, they must be integrated with information technologies. In recent years, significant progress has been made in Uzbekistan in attracting investments directed toward green technologies. Through government policy and international cooperation, several initiatives aimed at transitioning to a green economy and protecting the environment have been implemented. Below are the main actions and achievements in Uzbekistan: 1.
