NAMAs in GEORGIA
Three Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions
(NAMA) are under preparation and, in case of
international support, are expected to be
implemented prior to 2020. They are expected
to be a basis for subsequent larger-scale
mitigation actions for the post-2020 period.
These NAMA activities include:
• Gender-sensitive NAMA for sustainable
energy in rural areas;
• NAMA for Low Carbon Buildings in Georgia;
• Vertically Integrated NAMA (V-NAMA) for the
Urban Transport Sector.
All above mentioned pre-2020 mitigation actions
have been taken into account while calculating
the BAU scenario.
Covenant National Coordinators
Key tasks based on the partnership agreement are:
 Promotion of the accession to the CoM for the municipalities;
 Provision of technical support;
 Definition of the scope;
 Designation of the methodology for the assessment,
monitoring and verification reports;
 Reporting regularly to DG ENERGY on the results obtained in
Georgia;
 Participation in discussions on the strategic implementation
of the Covenant proposed by the Commission;
 Cooperation with all the other Covenant Coordinators.
