National Committee on Ecology and Climate Change of the Republic of Uzbekistan

For reference: In accordance with the Presidential Decree of the Republic of Uzbekistan dated 25 March 2026, “On measures to implement the nationwide "Clean Air Project" aimed at improving air quality”, "Car-Free Day" and "Car-Free Week" campaigns are held on the 10th and 25th of each month.

The initiative aims to reduce harmful emissions from motor vehicles into the atmosphere and thereby contribute to a more environmentally sustainable environment, while also promoting the use of public and environmentally friendly modes of transport.

As part of the "Car-Free Day" and "Car-Free Week" campaigns, employees of the National Committee on Ecology and its regional offices refrain from using official and private vehicles, opting instead for public transport, bicycles and other alternative modes of transport. This also contributes to reducing harmful emissions into the atmosphere and easing traffic congestion in cities.

For reference: On 22 September, the “World Car-Free Day” campaign was held, with active participation from employees of the National Committee on Ecology, who used environmentally friendly modes of transport and public transportation.

Please note that, as part of the "Car-Free Day" and "Car-Free Week" campaigns, the use of motor vehicles by civil servants is subject to liability.

The National Committee on Ecology calls on all government and non-government organisations, as well as citizens across the country, to actively participate in these campaigns and make greater use of environmentally friendly modes of transport, electric vehicles and public transportation.
