  1. “In conclusion, bearing in mind the nexus between climate and peace and security, let me once again welcome the increased focus of the Council on climate change issues, and we look forward to the Council adopting a collaborative approach to effectively develop and support climate-sensitive conflict resolution and peacebuilding. At the same time, we are looking ahead to the twenty-eighth Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, to be organized under the presidency of the United Arab Emirates, which should bring the ambition and action needed to respond to climate change demands before it is too late.”

  2. “As for measures taken at the local level to plan Georgia’s long-term path to climate change mitigation, Georgia has developed a long-term low-emission devel- opment strategy extending to 2050, which was recent- ly approved by the Government. Moreover, in January 2020, Georgia established an inter-ministerial multidis- ciplinary council on climate change, which aims to im- prove climate governance in the country and to support the implementation of the Paris Agreement. In addition, I am pleased to note that my Government is currently working on the development of Georgia’s climate law.”

  3. “To underpin the Paris Agreement with concrete actions, the Government of Georgia adopted its updated nationally determined contributions document and submitted it to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). Our new document has new targets, as required by the Paris Agreement to make them more ambitious. For the implementation of the mitigation part our nationally determined contributions, the Government of Georgia adopted its 2030 climate change strategy and its respective action plan for 2021– 2023. The document covers sectoral chapters on energy generation and transmission, waste, building, industry, transport, agriculture and forestry. As a party to the UNFCCC, we are fully committed to the objectives of the Convention and align ourselves with the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.”

  4. “Georgia too has a bitter experience of environmental damage caused by Russia’s illegal actions in the occupied regions of Georgia, which create a particular challenge with regard to the security of natural resources. The main water collectors of the irrigation systems are under the control of the occupation regime. That causes major problems in Georgia’s drought-stricken regions. The continued process of the installation and advancement of razor and barbed-wire fences and various artificial barriers along the occupation line continues to have a negative impact on the already poor socioeconomic conditions of the conflict-affected population and on their sense of security, while also preventing their access to property and grazing and farming lands.”

  5. “The security risks associated with climate change have already become a daily reality for millions of people around the world. Climate change is fuelling conflict. We see that there is no group more exposed than those who have been forced to flee their homes as a result of combination of both conflict and the effects of climate change and environmental degradation. The latest example of the harm caused by conflicts are the consequences of the war of aggression waged by Russia against Ukraine, which leads to environmental disaster. We condemn the detonation of the dam of the Nova Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant, located in the temporarily occupied territory of the Kherson region of Ukraine.”

  6. “I wish to begin by extending our appreciation to the delegation of the United Arab Emirates for organizing today’s very timely debate. Georgia aligns itself with the statement delivered earlier by the representative of the European Union, and I would like to make some additional comments in my national capacity. We welcome the increased focus of the Security Council on climate change issues by broadening discussions on the matter, incorporating climate-security language into resolutions and establishing institutional architecture. At the same time, we believe that the assessment of climate-related security risks and responses to them should be better fed into the Council’s work, including as part of the Organization’s peacekeeping and peacebuilding activities.”

  7. “In conclusion, let me reaffirm Georgia’s commitment to advancing the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda at the national level, as well as to contribute towards the promotion of its implementation globally.”

  8. “The topics are highlighted with the co-Chairs of the Geneva International Discussions — the European Union, the United Nations and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, as well as with other international and regional organizations, in order to properly reflect the needs and priorities of women IDPs and conflict-affected women in peaceful conflict-resolution processes. Furthermore, for the same purpose, with the support of UN-Women Georgia, participants from the Georgian side of the Geneva International Discussions hold regular meetings with representatives of civil society, including forcefully displaced conflict-affected women, as well as women’s rights defender non-governmental organizations.”

  9. “Regrettably, women and girls living in the Russia-occupied Abkhazia and Tskhinvali regions of Georgia continue to suffer from persistent violations of their fundamental human rights and are unable to benefit from the human rights protection framework of the Government of Georgia. At each round of the Geneva International Discussions and the Incident Prevention and Response Mechanism, the Georgian delegation actively raises the needs and priorities of women internally displaced persons (IDPs) and conflict-affected women.”

  10. “The plan is based on the Government’s approach of integrating gender perspectives in the security sector and in decision-making processes by using a gender lens in peace negotiations and promoting the meaningful participation of women and girls in conflict prevention and resolution. Women and girls are disproportionately and dissimilarly affected by wars, conflicts and crises. Russia’s illegal, unprovoked and brutal war against Ukraine has highlighted the importance of focusing on women and the women and peace and security agenda. The continued occupation and creeping annexation of the Georgian regions of Tskhinvali/South Ossetia and Abkhazia bluntly violate the principles of the United Nations Charter and undermine the rules-based international order, threatening regional and global security.”

  11. “We share the concerns raised in the Secretary-General’s report on women and peace and security (S/2022/740) regarding the numerous barriers compounded by predominant gender stereotypes that girls and women have to overcome in order to exercise their right to participate in public and political life. Georgia spares no effort to ensure the meaningful engagement of women in the peace process and continues to attach significant importance to the implementation of the women and peace and security agenda, in accordance with the subsequent Security Council resolutions and the respective national action plan. Let me note that the Government of Georgia is finalizing its fourth national action plan on women and peace and security.”

  12. “At the outset, I would like to express my gratitude to the presidency of Gabon for convening today’s meeting. I would also like to join my colleagues in thanking the briefers for their excellent presentations. Georgia aligns itself with the statement delivered earlier on behalf of the European Union, and I would like to make some additional comments in my national capacity. While global gender parity in the peace and security dimension has yet to be achieved, we welcome every effort by participating States to increase women’s participation in areas pertaining to international peace and security. Regrettably, despite the increasing awareness of their contributions worldwide, girls and women face various obstacles to their activism.”
