Georgia

Overview

Georgia submitted its first Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) in 2017, followed by an updated version in 2021. Most recently, in March 2026, Georgia submitted its NDC 3.0, committing to reducing net greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 50% below 1990 levels by 2035.

Mitigation priorities include reducing emissions from energy generation and supply by 15% by 2030, sustained through 2035; cutting emissions from transport by 25% by 2035 through low emission mobility and electrification; supporting low carbon development in industry, including emissions reductions of 8% by 2035; improving energy efficiency in buildings, including renovation and regulatory measures: advancing waste management reforms, including recycling, composting and methane capture; and enhancing carbon removals through sustainable forest management and land use, including a 15% increase in forest carbon sequestration by 2035.

Adaptation priorities include strengthening early warning systems and emergency response mechanisms; improving water resource management and climate resilience; enhancing resilience in coastal, mountain and forest ecosystems; strengthening health systems to address climate-related risks; and protecting biodiversity and supporting ecosystem-based adaptation.

Georgia's NDC 3.0 process was coordinated by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture.

Partnership Engagement

Membership: Member since 2017
Country Engagement: Since joining the Partnership, Georgia has requested support related to designing and improving policies, strategies, plans, and legislation; mainstreaming NDCs into national planning and budgeting; improving the quality and ambition of the NDCs; improving coordination and whole-of-society approach; strengthening monitoring, evaluation reporting, and verification (MRV) systems; delivering capacity building and knowledge products; preparing NDC-related projects and pipeline for investments; mobilizing financial resources for NDC investment projects; engaging the private sector in NDC implementation; and enhancing the LT-LEDS. With Partnership support, Georgia has developed an NDC Partnership Plan for the period 2021 - 2030 covering all sectors identified in the NDC. In addition, partners have supported various activities including updating the NDC through the Climate Action Enhancement Package; enhancing the LT-LEDS through the Thematic Call for LT-LEDS and NDC Alignment, Update, and Enhancement; and mainstreaming climate considerations into the banking system through the Greening the Central Bank Initiative.
