Enabling Implementation of Forest Sector Reform in Georgia to Reduce GHG Emissions from Forest Degradation
Enabling Implementation of Forest Sector Reform in Georgia to Reduce GHG Emissions from Forest Degradation
Up to 90 percent of rural households in Georgia rely on fuelwood for their energy needs, most importantly heating during the country’s cold winters. This leads to forest degradation and a reduction of carbon absorption capacity, which is projected to decrease by five times between 1990 and 2030.
This project is designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by enhancing carbon sequestration through the introduction of sustainable forest management in three Georgian regions. This includes tackling the pressures of deforestation and the high demand for fuelwood. It will increase the uptake of energy efficient stoves through an innovative combination of market development, along with technical and financial assistance to local stove and alternative fuel producers and customers. The durability of the project will be strengthened by helping beneficiaries adapt to a new forest code and by developing sustainable livelihoods linked to forestry products.
