Working together on implementation of the Paris Climate Agreement in Georgia

The Paris Agreement sets out a global action plan to keep global temperature rise this century well below 2°C and to drive efforts to limit the increase even further to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. The agreement also aims to strengthen the ability of countries to deal with the impacts of climate change. The objectives of the Paris Agreement are in line with Georgia’s national development priorities such as energy efficiency improvement, energy security, food production security and others.

The NDC and its implementing measure will provide clear directions for action and ensure that the synergies between climate action and national development priorities are utilised and the Paris Agreement is implemented effectively. Therefore, active participation and collaboration is required among the national authorities and stakeholders who are covering virtually all sectors of economy, particularly those, which produce significant emissions of greenhouse gases, and those most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change.

The conference plans to reach governmental authorities and other stakeholders (business community, civil society and academia) with the purpose to enhance their common understanding of the opportunities and the challenges that the implementation of the Paris Agreement creates for our economy and society. In particular, the conference will discuss the options for coordinating sectoral policies and measures and ensuring that they bring national development on a low-emission and climate-resilient pathway.
