Climate change has become a challenge for our generation, said the Prime Minister of Georgia in his speech at the Sharm El-Sheikh UN Climate Change Conference - COP27.

“Dear President, Excellences, Dear Friends, I am honored to address you on behalf of my country, Georgia, and thank the President of the Arab Republic of Egypt for the leadership as our host and for the tireless efforts in the preparation of this very important event.

Dear Colleagues, climate change has become a challenge for our generation and we, as leaders of our countries, are responsible to find a solution for the sake of humanity and our future generations. There is no time for deliberation, we need swift and result-oriented actions.

In this spirit, Georgia is considering turning the Paris commitments into credible delivery and increasing the ambition of its Nationally Determined Contributions in 2025. We have developed a very comprehensive Georgia’s 2030 Climate Change Strategy and subsequent Action Plan to further facilitate the ambitious agenda for climate change mitigation.

Additionally, Georgia, with its Long-Term Low Emission Development Strategy targets to reach Carbon Neutrality by 2050 with unifying national efforts and with international support”, - said Irakli Garibashvili.
