Achieving sustainable development goals may be overlooked amid the acute economic crisis created by the current pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war. On September 25, 2015, the 193 member states of the United Nations reached an unprecedented agreement on the sustainable development document "Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development", which includes 17 goals and 169 tasks (United Nations, 2020). The Sustainable Development Goals are based on three interrelated elements of sustainable development: economic growth, social inclusion and environmental protection. Whether Georgia will be able to be relevant to the tasks of sustainable development with its economic strategy, reforms and results is a highly important issue. If the country has resources that have not yet been identified or properly studied, then the government should urgently find every means to ensure the financing of those programs and initiatives that are intended to eliminate the mentioned problems and thus contribute to the advancement of the country's future, raising the standard of living of the population. and job creation. Citizens have the right to participate in decision-making processes, including at the local level. The right of citizen participation is directly related to the citizen's right to influence the exercise of government powers and responsibilities. It is precisely in the process of development and evaluation of public services that the involvement of citizens provides the basis for obtaining better results of the government's policy and promotes the strengthening of trust between citizens and the government. The authorities are obliged to provide the society with the necessary environmental protection information, and in case of request, to give them. Because without correct information it is practically impossible to form a free opinion.
