Abstract:The purpose of the article is to analyze the green energy development policy in Georgia and study citizens’ awareness of the need to use renewable energy sources to stop climate change. The article examines Georgia's integrated national energy and climate plan, which covers the period 2021-2030, and outlines the country's commitment to achieving the 2030 goals. The paper also analyzes policies to achieve the long-term goals of the 2050 plan, ensuring compliance with the long-term political goals of the European Union (EU), the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Energy Union. The article characterizes the factors that promote and hinder the convergence of Georgia’s energy policy with the requirements of the EU and international policy for the development of green energy. The study provides an analysis of the general legal framework conditions for the production, transmission, distribution, supply and trading of electricity produced from renewable energy sources. Based on a survey of respondents on social networks and processing the results using the IBM SPSS Statistics computer program, information was revealed about insufficient awareness and understanding among respondents of the need to develop green energy and the lack of training programs in the field of education. In conclusion, the authors of the scientific article, summing up the economic policy for the development of green energy, proposed the introduction of a low symbolic municipal tax on environmental management in the regions and cities of Georgia, as well as the need to introduce new curricula for the study of green energy and climate change in educational institutions. |
