THE PROCESS OF DESERTIFICATION CAUSED BY CLIMATE CHANGE AND THEIR IMPACT ON GEORGIA'S BIODIVERSITY

Abstract

Different regions of Georgia respond uniquely to ongoing climate change, leading to varying levels of vulnerability. The country features a diverse natural landscape that has evolved over time. By the end of this century, climate change will remain a significant ecological and socio-economic challenge. It is a major driver of biodiversity loss. The projected increase in temperature and decrease in precipitation in Georgia are especially damaging to transitional ecosystems, altering the distribution of their flora and fauna.
