Ecosystems Displacement/migration of species Shift/reduction in forest cover Introduction of new pests/diseases   Agriculture Shifts in production zones Crop loss in extreme events Introduction of new pests/diseases

Tourism Losses to key tourist centers, particularly ski resorts, beaches, and hiking and birdwatching destinations /Shorter winter seasons and declining snow cover already affect popular alpine ski resorts like Bakuriani and Gudauri. Popular hiking and trekking destinations in the Upper Svaneti frequently experience avalanches due to intense rainfall, while Adjara, a popular beach destination, suffers from mudslides and landslides that disrupt transport and other services/

Human Health Increased incidence of heat-related issues Exacerbation of existing diseases Risk of spreading vector-borne disease .

 Georgia has the largest glaciated area and greatest number of glaciers in the Caucasus region, several of which have retreated dramatically since 1974. 

Glaciers are an important source of water, and rising temperatures threaten the country’s water security

     Droughts occur less frequently than floods, but induce greater economic losses, such as the 2000 drought that inflicted $460 million worth of damage on the agriculture sector.

Rising temperatures and unpredictable seasonal rains have negative implications for Georgia’s agriculture sector, which employs 50 percent of the population and is a livelihood source for the majority of the country’s poor.

  Climate change is also related to natural changes, such as changes in the dimensions of continents and oceans and their two-dimensional arrangement, changes in sunlight, changes in the parameters of the Earth's orbit, changes in atmospheric transparency, changes in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations, CO2 and CH2 Change in the amount of heat and so on

ECOSYSTEMS Georgia’s unique ecosystems and biodiversity, including many rare and endemic species, are under threat from climate change. Georgia has the highest forest cover in South Caucasus, at almost 40 percent. Rising temperatures have increased the spread of endemic diseases (such as bark beetle) and introduced new diseases, such as box-fungal disease, which is present in up to 60 percent of forests in some protected areas and national parks. Higher temperatures have also increased the risk of wildfires in some areas. Long-term changes could include a decline in current birch forests and a gradual conversion to more open-arid forest ecosystems such as spruce and pine.

Georgia actively cooperates 

at a regional level with Azerbaijan, Moldova and Armenia

 on climate change
