This paper explores the connection between industrial waste generation and global climate change, with a
focus on the transition to a green economy. The study analyzes emission trends, waste management inefficiencies, and
industrial environmental impacts in developing regions, particularly in Central Asia. Using international and national data
(2014–2025), the paper proposes sustainable strategies for waste reduction and eco-innovation. The findings emphasize
the necessity of integrating circular economy principles into industrial policy frameworks
