Updating of Georgia’s technology needs assessment through development of a technology road maps for prioritized technologies

The document is a Readiness support proposal submitted to the Green Climate Fund (GCF) to help Georgia update its Technology Needs Assessment (TNA). The project, implemented by UNEP on behalf of the Climate Technology Centre and Network (CTCN), aims to identify and prioritize low-emission and adaptation technologies in the energy, agriculture, industry, and waste sectors. With a requested budget of USD 487,725 over 18 months, the initiative will establish a National TNA Committee, develop Sectoral Technology Action Plans, and create a financial mobilization strategy including new business models to attract private sector investment. The ultimate goal is to translate these findings into bankable GCF project proposals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance economic resilience.

• Georgia's updated (draft) NDC (2020) sets an unconditional target to limit domestic total GHG emissions to 35% below 1990 levels by 2030.
• The energy sector is the largest source of emissions in Georgia, accounting for 62% of total emissions, followed by agriculture at 18% and waste at 8%.
• The proposed technical assistance will focus on four priority sectors: energy (including electricity, heat, and transport), agriculture, industry, and waste.
• Several barriers hinder the adoption of climate technologies in Georgia, including a lack of institutional capacity, insufficient experience in implementing solutions, high upfront capital costs, and limited private sector capacity to unlock finance.
• The project will establish a National TNA Committee as a sub-committee under the governmental Climate Change Council to coordinate and endorse TNA activities.
• A key output of the proposal is the development of a financial mobilization strategy that includes at least four new business models to attract private sector investment for low-emission technologies.
• The initiative aims to produce four GCF Concept Notes based on prioritized technologies to create a pipeline of scalable and financially robust project proposals.
• The total requested amount for the 18-month implementation period is USD 487,725.
