This article analyzes the role of the concepts of environmental law and climate justice in international and national legal systems. Significant differences between international standards - in particular, the principles developed on the basis of the Paris Agreement, the Kyoto Protocol and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change - and the environmental legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan are highlighted. During the study, proposals were developed on the issues of environmental justice and the possibilities of the population to adapt to climate change, mechanisms for the implementation of environmental rights, and the approximation of national legislation in this area to international standards.
