Soil degradation is widespread and cross-border in Central Asia with multiple symptoms. This impairs the provision of ecosystem services, including food production, climate change mitigation, biodiversity, and human health. The soil health concept links soil management to broader sustainable development goals. Soil knowledge and its application has to be invigorated, for instance by establishing a Central Asian Soil Competence Network.

Целью исследования является изучение пылеудерживающей способности кроны деревьев и определение возможности использования этого параметра для оценки запыленности воздуха разных зон города. Показатель пылеудерживающей способности выражен в массе пыли, которую может удержать единица площади зеленой массы деревьев.

An individual monotown is a unique combination of available resources, trends and potential. Earlier management decisions, due to their uniformity, did not take such specifics into account. As a result, state support measures have not had the expected effect. The introduction of a differentiated approach to regional policy transformation can therefore be a trigger for positive change.

В 2021–2022 гг. общественная организация «Пешсаф» при поддержке международной общественной организации «Чистая Земля» запустила проект по исследованию товаров народного потребления на содержание токсичных металлов (среди которых особое место занимает свинец) в крупных городах страны. Свинец и его соединения чрезвычайно часто применяются в пищевой, лакокрасочной промышленности и для изготовления игрушек. Это ставит под угрозу жизнь и здоровье населения крупных городов, которое становится главным потребителем товаров народного потребления.

Цели устойчивого развития, провозглашенные ООН на период до 2030 г, включают обширный спектр задач. Цель работы-проанализировать современное состояние ЦУР 9 в рассматриваемых странах, выявить нерешенные вопросы и сформулировать первостепенные направления развития. В статье использованы методы анализа и синтеза, статистический метод в совокупности с системным и комплексными подходами. Научная новизна заключается в том, что проведен контент-анализ, проанализированы изменения по отраслям в рассматриваемых странах. Исследование показало, что достигнуты определенные шаги к технологическому прорыву, но имеются нерешенные вопросы. Эффективный менеджмент и оптимальное применение ресурсов, инновационных и цифровых технологий позволит странам достичь ЦУР 9.

From 1990 until today, diversification and in some cases a sharp decline of industrial production in Kyrgyzstan have not been properly accompanied by proactive planning and/or management strategies. The adopted 2019-2023 Strategy for Sustainable Industry Development of the Kyrgyz Republic [Decree of the Government of the KR, 2019], including its processing segment, mainly aims to foster the advancement of selected manufacturing sectors and exports, as well as to enhance the competitiveness of Kyrgyz-made industrial goods. Kyrgyzstan’s industry represents one of the key elements of the national economy contributing approx. 20.0% to its GDP [NSC, 2021].

В статье инициируется дискуссия по одной из наиболее актуальных проблем современного энергетического права, имеющей чрезвычайно важное значение для дальнейшего развития энергетической отрасли Республики Таджикистан и других государств с весомым гидроэнергетическим потенциалом. В частности, в статье поднимается проблема о необоснованности общепризнанной позиции, что крупные ГЭС не относятся к возобновляемым источникам энергии. Авторы статьи исследовали ряд публикаций, в которых излагается идея признания принадлежности крупных ГЭС к возобновляемым источникам энергии, и в рамках настоящей статьи развили её с учётом собственных наблюдений и доводов в контексте гидроэнергетического потенциала Республики Таджикистан.

This book explores the complex relationship between groundwater law and the practical realities of groundwater allocation, with particular emphasis on the principles of equity and sustainable development. The author examines how formal legal frameworks interact with the everyday experiences of communities facing groundwater pollution, scarcity, and overexploitation. Drawing on detailed case studies from Australia, the Netherlands, Costa Rica, and India, the book compares groundwater governance approaches in both the Global North and the Global South. Particular attention is given to the role of local governance and community participation in addressing the limitations of state regulation of these often “invisible” water resources. The book concludes with recommendations for improving environmental law by ensuring that legal frameworks better reflect social needs and local realities. Overall, it highlights that effective groundwater governance requires not only robust legal institutions but also a deep understanding of regional environmental challenges and the importance of collective action.

This research aimed to identify the implementation level of Task 9.1 (Sustainable Development Goal 9) in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The literature review under this study also allowed assessing the degree to which the transport corridors impact the sustainable development of the Central Asian Region. In addition, 97 companies were surveyed and 51 extended interviews were conducted as part of the CILT Central Asia Project to assess the effects of transport corridors on businesses. The study has revealed significant gaps in the SDG9 data collection system, specifically, the need to integrate indicators on the impacts of building new infrastructure in the information collection system for SDG9 evaluation.
