Georgia’s Long-Term Low Emission Development Strategy 2050 (Lt-LEDS) was officially adopted on 24 April 2023, setting the stage for the country’s carbon-neutral future, and outlining a clear roadmap towards sustainable, low-emission growth.

The Lt-LEDS adheres to the main principles of the Paris Agreement and aligns with Georgia's unique national realities. It serves as a vital compass, providing essential guidance on greenhouse gas reduction trajectories and presenting priority measures tailored to specific sectors, including energy, building, transport, industry, agriculture, waste, land use, and forestry.

This groundbreaking document, developed by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture in collaboration with public agencies and civil society partners, received significant support from the European Union and UNDP. 

Working closely with the Government, civil society, and international partners, the EU and UNDP, through their regional EU4Climate programme, provided technical assistance, consultancy, and expert assistance in developing Georgia’s first-ever Lt-LEDS in line with the best practices of the EU Member States.
