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.
