Abstract:
The present report was developed within the framework of the program “Integrated Management of Natural Resources in Watersheds of Georgia” (INRMW), implemented by a group of the following partners: • Florida International University (FIU) • UNESCO Institute for Water Education (UNESCO‐IHE) • CARE International • Winrock International • Caucasus Environmental NGO Network (CENN) The geography of the program covers watersheds of Georgia: the Rioni River basin in West Georgia, and the Lori River and Alazani River basins in East Georgia. The following pilot watershed areas were selected for the implementation of the pilot program: • Upper Rioni pilot watershed area – Municipalities of Oni and Ambrolauri • Lower Rioni Pilot Watershed areas ‐ Municipalities of Khobi and Senaki. • Upper Alazani pilot watershed area – Municipalities of Akhmeta and Telavi; • Lower Alazani‐Iori pilot watershed area – Municipality of Dedoplistskaro. Within the framework of the program, it’s envisaged to assess the pilot watershed areas/municipalities with respect to their vulnerability to climate change and natural disasters; also, to develop a plan of corresponding mitigation and adaptation measures. The present report reflects the assessment of the vulnerability of the Lower Rioni pilot watershed area to climate change and natural disasters. It should be noted that the INRMW Program targets the Lower Rioni pilot watershed area that includes the entire Senaki Municipality and four communities of the Khobi Municipality located on the banks of the Rioni River. Within the framework of the program, it’s envisaged to assess the pilot municipalities in respect of their vulnerability to climate change and natural disasters. On the basis of the assessment an action plan for corresponding adaptation and mitigation measures to climate changes and natural disasters is also presented.
