The third plenary session addressed Georgia's National Roadmap for Transitioning to a Circular Economy.
The Deputy Minister of Environmental Protection and Agriculture, Mr. Solomon Pavliashvili, participated in the third plenary session on developing a national roadmap for Georgia's transition to a circular economy.
As mentioned, the strategic goal of Georgia is to quickly bring its circular economy policy up to speed with European standards, refine existing laws, and create venues for stakeholders to collaborate effectively.
" The Government of Georgia has started to elaborate a national circular economy roadmap to facilitate the transition to the circular economic model. The mentioned document serves as a strategic plan outlining long-term goals and identifying key initiatives to achieve them. The circularity map is based on the E U circular economy action plan, which is a cornerstone of the European "Green Deal", - noted Mr. Solomon Pavliashvili.
The circular economy is a systemic approach to economic development designed to benefit businesses, society, and the environment. This economic concept is built on the principles of eliminating waste and pollution, conserving goods and raw materials, and restoring natural systems.
