Following the presentations, stakeholders were assigned the task of selecting indicators to monitor the implementation of priority climate technologies in the agriculture, buildings, and transport sectors. As a result, various indicators were identified, such as estimating total annual energy consumption, measuring carbon levels in the soil, and quantifying biofuel production, among others.

Presentations were given showcasing examples from Georgia and other countries around the world.
