| Summary: | Georgia is located in the South Caucasus
region, sharing land borders with Russia to the north,
Turkey to the southwest, Armenia to the south, and
Azerbaijan to the east. Over the past two decades, Georgia
has experienced significant economic change, urbanization,
and displaced populations (due to conflict and disasters
triggered by natural hazards). This document aims to
summarize the climate risks faced by Georgia. This includes
short and long-term changes in key climate parameters, as
well as impacts of these changes on communities,
livelihoods, and economies, many of which are already
underway. This is a high-level synthesis of existing
research and analyses, focusing on the geographic domain of
Georgia, as such this profile potentially overlooks some
localized impacts and transboundary flow dynamics. The core
data presented is sourced from the database sitting behind
the World Bank Group’s climate change knowledge portal
(CCKP). This document also aims to direct the reader to many
useful sources of secondary data and research. |
