Developing Climate Resilient Flood and Flash Flood Management Practices to Protect Vulnerable Communities of Georgia

The project objective is to improve resilience of highly exposed regions of Georgia to hydro-meteorological threats that are increasing in frequency and intensity as a result of climate change. The project will help the governments and the population of the target region of Rioni Basin to develop adaptive capacity and embark on climate resilient economic development. The project is comprised of three main components:
1. Floodplain development policy introduced to incentivize long term resilience to flood / flash flood risks;
2. Climate resilient practices of flood management developed and implemented to reduce vulnerability of highly exposed communities;
3. Early warning system in place to improve preparedness and adaptive capacity of population.
