Four
days after Georgia attains the EU candidate
status, we are happy to announce the launch of our
Green Agenda project in Tbilisi. This initiative
aims to assist the country in achieving its
climate neutrality goals by embracing a green
transition and aligning with the European Green
Deal.
The
project is a collaborative effort led by the
Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), together
with the Government of Georgia and CENN. The
project is funded by Sida (the Swedish
International Development Cooperation Agency).
This
Green Agenda project supports Georgia's journey
towards joining the European Union by helping the
country achieve climate neutrality and a green
economy.
Over
the next three years, our collaborative efforts
will span various policy areas, encompassing
climate change, energy security, agriculture and
food systems, zero pollution, and more. The
culmination of this action will be the creation of
a comprehensive roadmap for Georgia, outlining the
strategic steps to achieve climate neutrality by
2050. This roadmap will serve as a guide,
facilitating alignment with the EU Green Deal and
meeting the requirements for EU accession.
Together
with various stakeholders, we are committed to
fostering awareness and cultivating a deeper
understanding among citizens regarding the
importance of climate neutrality and the urgency
of green
transition.
