As summer temperatures continue to rise and climate-related risks grow more unpredictable, Georgian businesses are stepping up efforts to safeguard operations, reduce energy costs, and build long-term resilience. With support from the GEFF in Georgia, many are turning to sustainable solutions that offer both environmental and economic benefits.
Climate adaptation in action: agriculture leads the way
One notable example this year comes from Georgia’s agricultural sector. GEFF in Georgia provided financing to a local farming enterprise for the installation of modern hail-nets—a timely investment in light of the increasing frequency and severity of hailstorms linked to climate change.
These high-performance nets shield crops from damage, helping secure harvests and protect livelihoods. By enabling such targeted investments, GEFF is helping agribusinesses adapt to shifting weather patterns while maintaining productivity and financial stability.
Energy-saving strategies for the summer months
Beyond direct adaptation measures, GEFF in Georgia is also encouraging businesses of all sizes to adopt practical energy-saving practices to reduce summer operating costs and environmental impact. Recommended strategies include:
“These small but strategic changes can make a real difference for businesses,” said a representative from GEFF in Georgia. “They not only cut costs but also help companies prepare for the growing impacts of climate change.”
Financing the green transition
GEFF in Georgia continues to offer financing options for companies interested in implementing green technologies and infrastructure. With tools like the Green Technology Selector and a growing portfolio of success stories, the programme is playing a key role in accelerating Georgia’s private-sector transition to a more sustainable and climate-resilient economy.
