Overall Summary: 
Georgia's Updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) is to support the sustainable and balanced development of the country, equally taking into consideration climate change, environmental and socio-economic challenges.
Environment
GHG emissions reduction targets: 
1. Georgia is fully committed1 to an unconditional limiting target of 35 % below 1990 level of its domestic total greenhouse gas emissions by 2030; 2. Georgia is committed to a target of 50-57% of its total greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 compared to 1990, in case of international support. If the world will follow 2OC average global temperature increase holding scenario, reduction of emissions by 50% will be necessary while in case of limiting increase to 1.5OC, it will be necessary to reduce emissions by 57% compared to 1990 level; [...] 4.1 GOALS PER SECTOR: 52. By 2030, Georgia plans to mitigate the GHG emissions from the transport sector by 15% from the reference level; 53. 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; 54. By 2030 Georgia plans to mitigate the GHG emissions from energy generation and transmission sector by 15% from the reference level; 55. Georgia’s updated NDC supports the low carbon development approaches of the agriculture sector through encouraging the climate smart agriculture and agritourism; 56. 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; 57. 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; 58. By 2030 Georgia intends to increase the carbon capturing capacity through the forestry sector by 10% compared to 2015 level; 59. 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.
