 Action Plan is prepared in accordance with the Government of Georgia Ordinance No 629, 20 December 2019, on the “Approval of Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation of Policy Documents.” Historical and Baseline indicators of the impact values are taken from 1990-2015 Georgia’s
 National GHG Inventory. “Reference Scenario Projection” is calculated in different models, and the results are aggregated in the LEAP model. It refers to the indicator’s expected index in case the intervention is not implemented, and it is compared with the desired “Final Target Value”
of the indicator. The “Baseline” of output indicator of the objective refers to the latest existing and available data, and it is compared to intermediate and final target indexes of the output indicator of the objective. For more information on assumptions and methodologies, see Appendix IV
     of Georgia’s 2030 Climate Change Strategy. Although many activities in the Climate Action Plan are carried out by the private sector, they are implemented with the high involvement of the public sector, particularly the efforts of the public servants. In the budget part, only the
 approximate amount of direct, additional costs is included. Consequently, the budget does not indicate indirect costs, including time allocated by the public servants. Due to the specifications of climate change mitigation measures, in some cases, private sector investments are indicated,
                                                                                              although these amounts are not included in the total budget of the Climate Change Strategy and Action Plan.
