This article examines the impact of climate change on the export of Uzbekistan. The study conducted a comprehensive review of the existing literature on the topic and found that climate change has significant impacts on Uzbekistan's agricultural sector, particularly with respect to cotton production, which is highly dependent on irrigation and water resources. Changes in precipitation patterns and increased temperature have led to decreased water availability and increased water stress in the region, resulting in declining cotton yields and reduced cotton production in recent years. In addition, climate change is affecting the transportation and logistics sector, leading to disruptions in transportation and increased costs. The article suggests that Uzbekistan should diversify its economy and reduce its dependence on cotton exports, increase investment in climate-resilient infrastructure and technologies, and increase international cooperation and support for climate adaptation. Examples of climate-resilient infrastructure and technologies that Uzbekistan could invest in include climate-smart agriculture, renewable energy, and climate-resilient transportation.
