Climate Change Law and Strategic Consulting

Climate change is a global challenge increasingly regulated by both international and national law. Climate Change Law encompasses norms aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions (mitigation) and adapting to the effects of climate change (adaptation). Georgia, as a party to the UN Framework Convention, is obligated to fulfill its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC). This impacts the energy, transport, agriculture, and construction sectors. Companies are required to report emissions and adhere to environmental standards.

This service is designed for corporations, government agencies, and NGOs. We offer strategic consulting on climate policy and regulations.
