Specialists of the National Environmental Agency Conducted a Field Expedition in Kobuleti Municipality Together with an International Expert
Within the framework of the project “Strengthening Climate Change Adaptation Capacities in Georgia, Phase II, ”international expert Andrew Kos paid a working visit to the National Environmental Agency.
Together with specialists from the Agency’s Department of Geology, the invited expert conducted a field expedition in Kobuleti Municipality. The purpose of the expedition was to carry out on-site validation of the geological hazard zoning map prepared by the team, as well as to review the applied methodology and assessment criteria for compliance with international best practices.
As part of the fieldwork, the team inspected and assessed the distribution areas of various geological processes, including landslides, mudflows, rock avalanches, rockfalls, and other related phenomena. Based on the findings, the prepared map will be further updated. This activity will contribute to improving the assessment and monitoring of geological hazards in the country.
The project “Strengthening Climate Change Adaptation Capacities in Georgia, Phase II” is funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC).
The initiative is part of a large-scale climate programme aimed at reducing climate change-induced disaster risks in Georgia. The programme is implemented by the Government of Georgia and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), with funding from the Green Climate Fund (GCF), as well as the Governments of Georgia, Sweden, and Switzerland.
