Achievements of the EU4Climate Armenia presented in a two-day “Conference for Parliamentarians in Armenia - Parliamentary Action on Climate Change”.

The event participants were introduced to the major planned activities and policy developments under the EU4Climate project, such as the development of the Long-Term Low Emission Development Strategy, Climate Law of Armenia, Financing strategy of 2021-2030 NDCs and the introduction of MRV frameworks. 

The representatives of the EU4Climate project participated in the “Climate Budgeting” workshop. It was organized by UNDP “Financing for the transformation of Armenia. Identifying sources of funding through the joint efforts of the “Armenia 2030″ program, the French Development Agency and the “Expertise France” organization.

A national workshop “Roadmap for the Development of a Functional National Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory System – Problems Encountered” was organised in the frames of the EU4Climate project funded by the European Union and implemented by UNDP in Armenia.

A national workshop was held on the results of the assessment of potential for reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture, which is part of Armenia’s long-term low-emissions development strategy. The aim of the workshop was to present the study on “Mitigation Opportunities and Climate Mainstreaming in Agriculture” as part of the EU4Climate project, and to discuss its findings with policy makers and experts’ community.

Armenia is increasingly seeing the fingerprints of climate change across its mountains and plains. The agricultural sector – which generates 15 percent of national GDP and accounts for 31 percent of employment – is expected to bear the majority of impacts, from desertification to higher temperatures and diminishing water resources. Armenia’s transition to carbon neutrality is at the core of the country’s vision for energy independence, energy security, and low-carbon, green growth.
