IMPORTANCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL PR IN ENSURING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN UZBEKISTAN
Abstract
Environmental public relations (PR) plays a vital role in promoting sustainable development, particularly in countries undergoing rapid economic and environmental changes like Uzbekistan. This article examines the significance of environmental PR in fostering public awareness, corporate responsibility, and government policies aimed at achieving sustainability. Through case studies on water conservation, air quality, and waste management, the article highlights the effectiveness of environmental PR campaigns in addressing key environmental challenges in Uzbekistan. The findings suggest that while challenges remain, environmental PR is crucial for mobilizing support, influencing behavior, and ensuring the successful implementation of sustainable practices.
