Georgia

Overview

Georgia’s submitted its updated First NDC in 2021. The updated NDC commits to an unconditional emissions reduction target of 35% and a conditional reduction target of 50-57% by 2030 compared to the 1990 baseline. The NDC covers the transport, buildings, energy, agriculture, industry, waste, and forestry sectors, as well as adaptation.

It has developed the NDC Partnership Plan to track technical and financial support to implement conditional actions in the CCSAP. Georgia has also submitted its Long-Term Low Emission Development Strategy on 25 July 2023, aiming to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.
