Country: Georgia
Document: Updated NDC

Georgia also draws attention to the fact that 43.5% of the country’s territory is covered by forests and aims to maintain and increase the GHG absorption and adaptation capacities of the forests.3 DEVELOPMENT OF GEORGIA’S NATIONAL GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORY SYSTEM OKATSE CANYON KHONI MUNICIPALITY GEORGIAGeorgia is fully committed to develop and operationalize the procedures and database for the archive system of the national anthropogenic emissions by national sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases by 2024; Georgia aims at developing the country-specific emission factors and activity data, where available, in order to address the recommended methods (tier levels) for the key source categories in accordance with the IPCC 2006 guidelines; Georgia recognizes the national circumstances, specifically absence of relevant historical data necessary for utilization of higher tier methodologies, and intends to use the splicing techniques suggested by the IPCC guidelines under the national inventory reports of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases, in order to ensure consistent time series and estimate missing emission values resulting from lack of activity data, emission factors or other parameters; Georgia is fully committed to develop QA as well as general and category-specific QC procedures for the estimation of levels of domestic anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases by 2024;Georgia is fully committed to adopt application procedures for verification techniques for the domestic anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases and operationalize them via the national inventory reports of anthropogenic emissions by sources and removals by sinks of greenhouse gases by 2024; For the reporting year Georgia intends to report information on precursor greenhouse gases such as carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides and non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOCs), as well as sulphur oxides consistent with the air pollution emission inventory of Georgia.KARTLI WIND POWER PLANT GORI AND KARELI MUNICIPALITIES GEORGIA4.1 GOALS PER SECTOR Georgia has identified the level of its greenhouse gas target limits by assessing the feasible targets for mitigation in each sector. To achieve the goal set out in NDC , following sectoral targets should be adopted as the goals of Georgia’s 2030 Climate Strategy and Action Plan: Georgia’s updated NDC supports the low carbon development of the industry sector through encouraging the climate-friendly innovative technologies and services, in order to achieve 5% of emission limitations comparing to emissions projected by the reference scenario; By 2030, Georgia plans to mitigate the GHG emissions from the transport sector by 15% from the reference level; Georgia’s updated NDC supports the development of low carbon approaches in the building sector, including public and touristic buildings through encouraging the climate-goals oriented energy efficient technologies and services; By 2030 Georgia plans to mitigate the GHG emissions from energy generation and transmission sector by 15% from the reference level; Georgia’s updated NDC supports the low carbon development approaches of the agriculture sector through encouraging the climate smart agriculture and agritourism;Georgia’s updated NDC supports the low carbon development of the waste sector through encouraging the climate-friendly innovative technologies and services and through effective implementation of separation practice and principles of circular economy; By 2030 Georgia intends to increase the carbon capturing capacity through the forestry sector by 10% compared to 2015 level; Georgia’s updated NDC sets implementation period for Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan between 2021 and 2030 through identification of individual mitigation measures contributing to achievement of the sectoral goals.MKINVARTSVERI (MOUNT KAZBEGI) KAZBEGI MUNICIPALITY GEORGIAGeorgia has identified the following adaptation measures to be adopted as part of the National Adaptation Plan to achieve the goal set out in Nationally Determined Contribution: Georgia intends to assess the impact of climate change on coastal zone, mountain ecosystems and ecosystem services.

Question: Are there transport green house gasses (GHG) unconditional targets?
Answer: By 2030, Georgia plans to mitigate the GHG emissions from the transport sector by 15% from the reference level
