AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoExtreme Rain & Flood Risk in Tbilisi: Georgia’s National Environment Agency says Tbilisi saw up to 2.5 times its July monthly rainfall in 8 hours (110 mm near Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University; 54.5 mm in one hour), triggering waterlogged streets and temporary infrastructure overload—another reminder that climate change is boosting both the frequency and intensity of downpours. Transboundary Conservation in the Caucasus: Georgia hosted the Caucasus Eco-Corridors Fund Regional Consultative Forum in Tbilisi, reviewing Phase II and progress on protected-area expansion (up 14.6% to over 1 million hectares) and new “connecting landscapes” in the Lesser Caucasus. Green Port Finance: DP World and the EBRD signed a green loan up to €25 million to electrify operations at Constanța South Container Terminal, cutting CO₂ by more than 6,000 tonnes a year and improving air quality via electric equipment and shore power. Storm Watch: Tropical Storm Bertha continues to strengthen and drift toward the Gulf Coast, with heavy rain and gusty winds expected in the wider region—conditions that can spill into coastal weather impacts. Digital Freight Permits: Georgia and Azerbaijan launched an e-permit exchange for international road freight, reducing paper reliance and speeding cross-border logistics.
