“…In terms of the energy sector, the current intensive use of coal as an energy source is slowly but surely being changed to natural gas and renewables. Kyrgyzstan has great potential for the partial transition to solar, hydro, and geothermal energy in the future, contrasting wind energy sources' development as the low monthly and yearly mean wind power density and speed in the foothill zones of the republic [47,48]. Tajikistan possesses more than half of the CA freshwater resources, and integrated management of them is required and would be beneficial.…”

As the world faces the detrimental effects of humanity on the environment, the circular economy has started receiving a lot of attention as a tool to keep the value of resources. Although in Europe, circular economy principles have become a trend much earlier, CACs still face challenges in adopting them. The current research aims to review the available literature on sustainability, green economy, and circularity development through the adoption of political, industrial, and financial instruments, followed by an assessment of the barriers and opportunities to circular economy development in the CACs. The novelty of this research lies in the systematic review of different state-of-the-art data resources (journal papers, policies, news, and reports) of CACs by different categories: policy regulations, energy, waste, education, water, and agriculture. This research addresses that the CACs have similar circular economy development barriers (e.g., wide use of fossil fuels, water shortage, and lack of effective waste management) and opportunities (e.g., orientation towards sustainable development, foreign cooperation, and green financing). Therefore, performing effective strategic plans that are already directed to circularity, ensuring stakeholders’ involvement, and providing sufficient funding could benefit their circular economy development.

“…The potential for generating green energy in the Kyrgyz Republic is high, but the lack of financial and economic development potential leads to the exploitation of the USSR's heritage (Botpaev et al, 2011). The main source of renewable energy in the Kyrgyz Republic is hydropower, while the potential for generating solar and wind energy is huge (UNDP, 2014d).…”

Clean energy today is in the focus of attention of the global community. The development of this field is vitally important for preserving natural heritage and reducing budget expenditures. The case of the EAEU is very interesting for research, since its member countries rely on conventional energy sources from Russia and Kazakhstan, which are cheaper than the production of clean energy. The authors examined the legislative framework of the EAEU countries and compared it with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, identifying their similarity. The authors introduced a method for assessing integration tightness, which allowed to divide the EAEU countries into two groups according to the extent of their integration in the EAEU. The other important finding based on a statistical analysis of the countries' cooperation in the field of clean energy is that the EAEU takes nearly no actions in this direction, therefore, clean energy is not important enough in the EAEU. Another result of the statistical study is the fact that none of the EAEU countries, except Armenia, will achieve the 2030 Agenda's goals in the field of clean energy. The authors developed the Index of green potential usage and proposed clean energy development strategy for the EAEU.

Energy security is an important issue locally and globally. Likewise, the most recent technological developments concern the sustainability and environmental impact of nonrenewable energy. Thus, most countries' concern has increased in new and renewable energy sources for generating electricity to reduce the consumption of nonrenewable energy. The central Asian region (CAR) is one of the most regions that contain much more energy. In this way, it is one of the primary exporters of energy for the global market. The Central Asian area contains around 5.5% of the world's hydro potential. Furthermore, over 20% of the world's investigated uranium is in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Natural gas is the most consumed resource in the CAR countries, 75% of which is consumed in Uzbekistan, and the second place, consumed by the CAR countries, goes to coal, where 93% of its stores are consumed in Kazakhstan. The countries that produce most of the oil in Central Asia are Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Kazakhstan provides 1.2 billion metric tons of oil and Uzbekistan provides up to 730 million barrels of oil. Kyrgyzstan has great potential for using renewable energy, including, solar energy, hydropower, and biomass. Thus, utilizing renewable energy for Kyrgyzstan must be addressed as a solution for population growth and socioeconomic problems in the future. Finally, the presence of energy is generating interest. However, the construction of pipelines is needed.
