Georgia's Second Biennial Update Report to the United Nations Framwork Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) was prepared in 2017-2019 and reviews the climate change processes, trends and developments in Georgia:

  • Quantitative and qualitative analysis of GHG emissions and removals in 2014-2015 by sources and industries operating in the country.
  • Implemented, ongoing and planned climate change mitigation measures and gaps and needs for their implementation.
  • Recommendations.
  • Establishment of the National Measurement, Reporting and Verification (MRV) system in Georgia under the Decisions of the UNFCCC Paris and Katowice conferences.

The document is complemented with the National GHGs Inventory Report, which presents the trends in domestic emissions for 25 year period and the mitigation measures taken to limit the GHG emissions, support received and needs to close gaps in the implementation of the Paris Agreement.

The report was prepared by the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture of Georgia with the support from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Global Environmental Facility (GEF) within the framework of the project "Fourth National Communication and Second Biennial Update Report to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change"
