Principaux résultats attendus:  

Georgia:

- Standardized and institutionalized multi-hazard maps and risk profiles are expected to increase the risk resilience of 47% (i.e. 1.7 mln persons) of Georgia’s population.

- National-level multi-hazard risk maps and risk profiles are developed, standardised and ready for roll-out in Georgia supported by the adequate institutional and legal frameworks preliminarily put in place by the Government of Georgia.

- At least 50 representatives from the National Environmental Agency (NEA), Emergency Management Service (EMS) and partner universities’ undergraduate courses get trained in hazard mapping and risk profiling methodology in Georgia.

- 10 municipal level multi-hazard response and preparedness plans are prepared for Georgia’s major river basins with accompanying trainings for municipal employees.

Region:

- Two Caucasus Mountain Forums get organized in 2019 and 2021 alongside with annual regional Summer Schools on climate change adaptation, hazard mapping and DRR.

- Diverse education and scientific exchanges (e.g. shortterm courses, publications) on natural hazards, climate change and sustainable mountain development are implemented to support evidence-based research in the region.

Principaux résultats antérieurs:  

- Missing data on climate change adaptation (CCA), DRR and hazard mapping were obtained by means of commissioning four studies in Georgia.

- Series of regional academic exchanges involving the governmental, development and civil society partners took place in Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia.

- Working modalities with all the involved stakeholders (e.g. Green Climate Fund (GCF); consortium of the University of Geneva and NGO Sustainable Caucasus, represented by the Sustainable Caucasus (SC)) were clarified. Organization, steering and monitoring arrangements were established.
