The article presents a comprehensive assessment of climate change in the Fergana region and its influence on the development and transformation of natural landscapes within global environmental systems. Based on meteorological data from 2001 to 2024, trends in air temperature and precipitation were analyzed. The results indicate a gradual increase in mean annual temperature and a decrease in precipitation, reflecting the intensification of aridization processes. Using geoinformation systems and remote sensing data, NDVI-based vegetation dynamics were mapped to evaluate spatial landscape variability. The study identifies the most climate-sensitive areas experiencing soil degradation and structural changes in ecosystems. These findings provide a scientific foundation for developing eco-reclamation strategies and agricultural adaptation measures to mitigate the impacts of regional climate change, contributing valuable insights to global environmental change research.
