Background

In its (I)NDC[1] document – submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2017 – Georgia highlighted the importance of contributions by municipalities in order to reach the country’s overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets: “It is envisaged that the most intensive pre-2020 mitigation action in Georgia should be the voluntary reduction of GHG emissions committed by thirteen self-governing cities and municipalities [having joined] the EU initiative ‘Covenant of Mayors’ (CoM). Further facilitation of this initiative will [also] significantly contribute to post-2020 [mitigation action].”[2]
