On 23 April 2021 Salome Gelashvili conducted a presentation on the “Cost-Benefit Analysis of Climate Change Adaptation Measures in Agriculture”, within the framework of a sector-specific workshop in agriculture organized under the 2021 CRED Coaching program. The latter includes a series of training sessions on the application of the e3.ge macroeconomic model, implemented under the BMU financed “Policy Advice for Climate-Resilient Economic Development” program (CRED).

Under CRED’s current activities in Georgia, GIZ together with its technical implementing partner – GWS (Gesellschaft für Wirtschaftliche Strukturforschung GmbH) – has developed a macroeconomic dynamic Input-Output model, entitled e3.ge (standing for Economy, Energy, and Environment). The e3.ge model estimates the economic effects of the impacts of climate change and adaptation to climate change at the macroeconomic and sectoral level in Georgia.

Between April 19-21, ISET PI’s Agricultural and Rural Policy Research Center (APRC) conducted training with representatives from the parliament’s Agrarian Issues Committee. These meetings were supported by the UNDP as part of their EU project – Consolidation of Parliamentary Democracy in Georgia.

The APRC delivered sessions on the following thematic areas:

• An overview of the situation in the sector and the key indicators;

• Current issues related to the development of cooperatives in Georgia;

• A sectoral analysis-value chain analysis;
