Abstract
The globalization of environmental problems, the changed political situation, and the new social and environmental experience of the Republic of Uzbekistan and its interaction with other, mainly neighboring, countries, compel us to comprehend the environmental activity of the people of Uzbekistan. The article analyzes the national model of the civil society of the republic, its conditioning by the historical and sociocultural characteristics of the country, by traditional values and by mental and behavioral characteristics, and universal mechanisms of adaptation to the natural and social environment, which together generally influenced the formation and development of the environmental movement in the republic. The processes of formation and the modern dynamics of the environmental movement in Uzbekistan and its particular characteristics are being studied. We analyzed activities aimed at adapting to an unpredictable future, the ability to develop a variety of socioecological practices, the ability to implement flexible communication strategies, create an information space related to environmental issues, their introduction into the daily life of society and its gradual transformation into a significant political and environmental force. The article also analyzes the experience of the Western environmental movement, which could contribute to the development of the environmental movement in Uzbekistan and its greater social sustainability, including through the involvement of more resources and new participants. The uniqueness of the sociocultural conditions in Uzbekistan, focusing on national identity and at the same time relying on a new technological base and on the social innovations that determined the characteristics of the local movement, allows us to discuss the Uzbek model of the environmental movement as a clearly expressed independent sociocultural phenomenon which deserves close attention and further in-depth study.
