Climate Action
152 lives were lost in natural disasters in Georgia over the past two decades and economic losses totalled more than USD 1.2 billion. Scientists estimate that climate-driven disasters could cost Georgia as much as USD 12 billion over the next ten years. To counter the growing threats, Georgia is creating a national model of climate resilience to provide direct protection to more than 1.7 million people, or almost half the population.
