Context

The on-road transport sector is one of the major sources of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions in Georgia. Currently, Georgia does not have vehicle emission standards in place. However, the country seeks to establish stronger regulations in accordance with EU directives in order to protect human health and the environment from the negative impact of emissions. 

Context

Togo struggles with very low energy access rates, especially in rural areas. Togo’s energy supply predominantly comes from traditional energy sources (biomass consisting of wood fuel and agricultural residue), which account for 70 to 80 percent of the national energy mix.  New and renewable energy sources (e.g. solar, wind) are only marginally represented in the country's generation facilities. In 2015, Togo prepared and submitted its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), which identified the energy sector as a priority area.
