Average temperatures in Georgia have increased steadily since the 1960s and are projected to rise by more than the global average by the end of the 21st century.
By the 2090s, the average temperature in Georgia is projected to increase between 1.4°C to 4.9°C above the 1986–2005 baseline.
Georgia is a member of a number of international agreements to help mitigate climate change. Including the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Paris Agreement, which obliges the member states to take action to limit global warming to well below 2, preferably to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to pre-industrial levels.
Within this agreement, Georgia has developed a Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), according to which: Georgia is fully committed to an unconditional limiting target of 35 % below the 1990 level of its domestic total greenhouse gas emissions by 2030;
Georgia is committed to a target of 50-57% of its total greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 compared to 1990, in case the global greenhouse gas emissions follow the 2 degrees or 1.5 degrees scenarios respectively, with international support.
