IMMEDIATEPRIORITIES

Arsenic Disposal [1/5]

Soviet legacy sites with arsenic containing waste at Lentekhi (Tsana) and Ambrolauri (Uravi) Municipalities poses significant health threats to the population locally and downstream.

Early Warning System [2/5]

Devdoraki glacier, which collapsed in 2014 remains significant threat both for lives and important communications. Other high risk sites are identified also. Early warning and emergency alert systems are crucial to manage these risks.

Hazardous Waste Landfill [4/5]

Currently no state managed hazardous waste landfill exists in Georgia, resulting to unmanaged and unmonitored disposal of many hazardous materials. New by-law to enforce the control is in development.

Multipurpose Ship [5/5]

Definitely, not this particular type of vessel, but one with:

Speed > 25 knotsAutonomy > 5 days/8 guestsSea State > 7

Interceptor BoatsCranes for scientific workLow maintenance cost

Improvments for theEnvironmental Monitoring System

5 new air quality monitoring stations (4 already exists)

Development of Pollution Monitoring Laboratory

Integration of agro-meteorology in NEA services

Enhancement of hydro-meteorological monitoring

Enhancement of geological hazards monitoring

Enhancement of water resources monitoring

Access to the projects database

1. Access to the existing project database, with comments and requests.

Factor of Education

Weak education, both formal and informal, still remains as key constraint for sustainability. We are targeting all age groups and educational sectors, to address this issue.
