According to the unconditional commitment undertaken by Georgia, the country must reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 35% in approximately 2030. This means that roughly in 2023 the emission of greenhouse gases should be reduced by 35% compared to the level of 1990.
The European Union (EU) and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), in partnership with the Environment Agency Austria, are helping the Ministry of Environment and Agriculture in Georgia to implement the Greenhouse Gas Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) system and fulfill international obligations.
The initiative is implemented within the EU4Climate regional project, which is being carried out by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in the Eastern Partnership countries.
In turn, EU4Climate helps the six countries of the Eastern Partnership - Azerbaijan, Belarus, Moldova, Georgia, Armenia and Ukraine - to implement the Paris Agreement on climate change, improve climate-related legislation and reduce the negative impact of climate change.
In all of the six countries, the EU4Climate project is being implemented in cooperation with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and on the basis of agreements reached with the national governments.
EU4Climate supports the Government of Georgia in updating information on nationally determined contributions as part of the Paris Agreement and developing strategies defined by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). In addition, a national system of the Greenhouse Gas Measurement, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) will be established in Georgia, which will contribute to the implementation of the Paris Agreement.
The European Union project EU4Climate builds on the results of the previously implemented initiatives in the Eastern Partnership countries. Among them is the large-scale regional program ClimaEast, which was carried out in 2013-2017 in order to take the climate change adaptation measures. In Georgia, the ClimaEast program contributed to the rehabilitation and maintenance of the pastures located in the protected areas of Vashlovani.
