"We have developed a very comprehensive Georgia’s 2030 Climate Change Strategy and subsequent Action Plan to further facilitate the ambitious agenda for climate change mitigation.

Additionally, Georgia, with its Long-Term Low Emission Development Strategy targets to reach Carbon Neutrality by 2050 with unifying national efforts and with international support.

Georgia has one of the cleanest grids; 85% of our electricity comes from renewable sources, and further enhancing the share of renewable energy is a strategic priority for my country. Additionally, we continue to support further non-traditional renewable energy development projects such as solar, wind, hydrogen, geothermal and other means of sustainable sources.

I am ascertained that a robust framework for increasing the resilience of our countries will be an outcome of our negotiations in Sharm El-Sheikh. However, these efforts can only be effective if the perspectives and contexts of developing countries in all regions are considered.

Equitable geographical representation, sovereign equality, and dignity of all its Member States is a fundamental principle of the UN’s work and of this Body. This principle – to “leave no one behind” is echoed in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Therefore, achieving Equitable Geographic Representation in the Composition of Constituted Bodies under the Convention remains among our highest priorities at this COP. 

In conclusion, Dear Friends, I encourage and remind all our colleagues that success cannot be achieved alone; only with joint efforts, we will be able to reap the rewards. So, let’s together translate the outcomes of COP 27 into prompt climate action,” - Irakli Gharibashvili said, while delivering a speech at the 27th UN Climate Change Conference.
