Central Asian region: analysis of environmental pollution

Abstract

Over a long period of economic activities on the territory of Central Asia have accumulated millions
of tons of industrial and municipal solid wastes. As a result, there is a violation of ecosystems, a decrease
in biodiversity, pollution and land degradation in large areas, leading to serious socio-economic consequences.
Many social and economic problems of this region lies a historically developed imbalance as the
countries consume resources out of a proportion with their manufacture.
The purpose of this research was the study and analysis of environmental pollution in Central Asia.
The main direction of the study is the assessment of solid waste pollution of production and consumption
and the development of ways to solve the problem in this region.
In order to the radically change of the current situation and the status of activities for environmental
protection and sustainable development, it is necessary to introduce the principles of a green economy
implemented at the national and regional levels. The introduction of the principles of sustainable development
is a great importance in solving this problem.
At present, the Central Asian countries are moving towards the practical implementation of the principles
of sustainable development in strategic documents and practices of public waste management.
The issue of waste management, taking into account their transboundary effect, and the environment
as a whole is possible only on the principles of cooperation. In order to ensure timely solution to this
problem is necessary to improve and harmonize the scheme of waste management at the state level and
through regional cooperation.
Growing global threats related to climate change, energy, water and food security problems, as well
as regional conflicts require new solutions and integration of the efforts of the entire community of this
region.
To ensure timely solution of this problem, it is necessary to improve and harmonize the waste management
scheme at the state level and through regional cooperation. The article summarizes the problems,
directions of further integration in the field of waste management.
