Solid waste management in Adjara and Kakheti is transitioning towards modern practices involving managed landfills, as well as improved solid waste collection and diversion. This process involves a number of factors including an understanding of current activities and associated impacts (e.g. GHG emissions), as well as an understanding of potential future activities and associated impacts. Solid waste activities and impacts are determined based on the resources provided (see References). The quantities of CH4 emissions are calculated using the IPCC Solid Waste Excel Model, best available data and documented assumptions. As such, the model estimates are approximations of the actual quantities of GHG emissions. The primary focus of this report is to quantify GHG emissions from activities capable of achieving the project goals of reducing GHG emissions by 5kt CO2e by October 1, 2015 and by a cumulative GHG emission reduction of 25kt CO2e by October 1, 2016. Based on the modelling performed, a landfill gas (LFG) collection and flare system operating at the existing Batumi landfill appears to provide numerous options to achieve the project objectives. Composting organic waste (food particularly) has the potential to avoid significant methane emissions, however, due to the nature of the decomposition process many years are required to realize the cumulative avoided emissions. The first step to perform the modelling was to collect data for the municipalities in Adjara and Kakheti regions and to model GHG emissions caused by historical waste activities and likely future scenarios. This step helped to identify which municipalities would be probable candidates to achieve the project goals of reducing GHG emissions. The primary criteria to be a candidate for modelling included quantity of waste and existing waste practices, particularly extent of waste collection and type of solid waste disposal site (SWDS). The next step was to consider the types of activities capable of achieving the project goals in the given timeline. As such, the first project goal to reduce GHG emissions by 5kt CO2e by October 1, 2015 assumes January 1, 2015 as the earliest possible start date for the activity to commence. In other words, a timeline of nine months. Therefore the choice of which option of waste management activity must be governed primarily by the available timeline. Waste management activity options Assessment LFG collection and flare system at GHG emissions can be reduced quickly by flaring the methane major landfills generated from waste in place Organic (food) waste diversion to GHG emissions can be avoided in the future by diverting organics composting facility from a managed landfill (that would have generated methane) to a compositing facility Solid waste incineration Similar to LFG system, however more expensive and complicated, and may involve negative air emissions without appropriate pollution controls Economic assessments of the waste management activity options relates to site specific factors and requires detailed knowledge of the propose activity, for example size of facility, specific technologies to be used, etc. Cost estimates are beyond the scope of this report, however references have been listed (file #21 of the European Commission and file #22 of the U.S. EPA) provide an outline of full cost accounting as well as examples of cost estimates from some European countries. As noted in the references section, data availability and quality has been identified as a major issue. In particular, there are few details about solid waste composition in Adjara and Kakheti, which is fundamentally important for waste management planning. As a secondary output from the work, Annex 1 presents a brief overview of factors related to a potential future study on municipal/household non‐ hazardous solid waste composition. As a secondary output from the work to prepare this report, GHG emission and emission reduction scenarios for the period 2020‐2030 were generated for each community in Adjara and Kakheti regions. The data and assumptions are described in Annex 2, and 108 “results files” corresponding to the scenarios calculated using the IPCC Solid Waste model are available separately. This report was performed based on data and inputs provided from project participants. The specific limitations of data have been documented in the associated files, and any assumptions described herein. Readers should be aware the quantification and results reflect the limitations of the data. Page 6 Approach and Methodology This section describes the approach followed to identify potential activities to quantify GHG emission reductions of 5kt CO2e by October 1, 2015 and 25kt CO2e (cumulative) by October 1, 2016 (i.e. the project objectives). The approach is: Step 1: Review resources and available data Step 2: Define scenarios for baseline GHG emissions (e.g. population, collection rates, SWDS types…) Step 3: Quantify baseline GHG emissions using the IPCC Solid Waste model Step 4: Identify probable candidate communities for GHG emission reduction activities Step 5: Quantify GHG emissions and emission reduction potential for LFG collection and flare, as well as composting organics (food). Approximately 20 references were reviewed to obtain data and to substantiate assumptions (in cases of no data). The scenarios and quantification were performed for each community in Adjara and Kakheti. Further detail regarding relevant data, assumptions and scenarios are described in the next section. The GHG emissions were quantified using the IPCC Solid Waste model (MS Excel), and the results were saved in a separate file for each scenario ‘model run’. The summary results are presented in the Results section of this report. Based on the community level information and the quantification results, the probably candidates were identified for communities to be engaged in the GHG emission reduction activities to achieve the project objectives. The primary criteria to be a candidate community included: population waste generation existing waste practices, particularly extent of waste collection and type of solid waste disposal site (SWDS). Based on the results and above criteria, the candidate communities are: Adjara • Batumi (main focus) • Kobuleti Kakheti • Telavi • Gurjaani The next step was to consider the types of activities capable of achieving the project goals in the given timeline. As such, the first project goal to reduce GHG emissions by 5kt CO2e by October 1, 2015 assumes January 1, 2015

Western Georgian distribution in full swing In Western and Central Georgia, UNHCR estimates that there are between 20 000 and 25 000 persons in need of assistance. The first shipment of aid arrived on August 19 by plane to Batumi airport and after a swift transport to the warehouses, the distribution is already well on its way. Today the UNHCR team distributed non-food items for some 500 IDPs in the city of Senaki. These IDPs have been in the region already since 1992 – 1993 and are now facing a new catastrophe as their centres have been damaged by the bombings. The UNHCR team assessing the damages concluded that immediate reparations are needed to provide proper shelter before winter. At the same time, a coordination meeting was held in the city of Kutaisi which will serve as a distribution hub for the region. The meeting, assisted by the local authorities, IDP representatives and UNHCR, assessed the needs in the area and the distribution started immediately reaching close to the western border of South Ossetia, as close as the villages of Sachkhre and Chiatura. Furthermore, the urgently needed hygiene kits are being distributed by ICRC and NRC, upon request from UNHCR.

  • Situation of Human Rights in Georgia October 2006 Since the Coming Into Power of Mr
    Note Situation of Human Rights in Georgia October 2006 Since the coming into power of Mr. Mikhaïl Saakaschvili at the favor of the so-called “roses’ revolution”, local and international organisations observe regular deterioration of fundamental freedoms. The violations of rights and freedoms are encouraged by a very personalised and authoritarian sense of power from the President. The first consequences of it are the exessive use of violence et and the impunity by law-enforcement bodies, repression and harassment against journalists, human right defenders, etc... This also contributed to conflictual situations at both internal (minorities and separatist regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia) and external (recent break of diplomatic relations with Russia) levels. This new escalation of internal and external tension can provoke a serious deterioration of the situation of civilian population of Georgia and lies within the on-going agravation of a general human rights situation. A. Torture, ill treatments and excessive use of force Use of torture and ill treatments by law enforcement officials FIDH and Human Rights Information and Documentation Center (HRIDC), member of FIDH, strongly condemn the increase of torture, inhuman and humiliating treatments especially by law enforcement bodies. Despite the fact that, NGOs and UN human rights mechanisms reported numerous cases of torture committed by police officers, the impunity of their perpetrators is still a reality. In his annual report to the 62nd Commission on human rights (march 2006) and following a mission to Georgia, the Special Rapporteur on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment, declared that “torture and ill-treatment by law enforcement officials still exist in Georgia” and that “ the methods of torture included beatings with fists, butts of guns and truncheons and the use of electric shocks, and cigarette burns; injuries sustained by the victims included, among other things, broken bones, cigarette burns, scars, as well as neuropsychological changes”.
