Yerevan․ UNDP Armenia, 2020.- 213p.

It poses a worldwide threat to human development and requires ambitious and bold collective climate action. To cope with the climate change crisis, the international community adopted the Paris Agreement in December 2015, which went into force in November 2016. The Armenian Parliament ratified the Paris Agreement in 2017 and under this Agreement, together with all signatory countries, we work to limit and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. With its First National Communication submitted in 1998, Armenia embraced a commitment to share the efforts and achievements in responding to climate change through regular development of national communications and later from 2012 to submit biennial update reports. The Fourth National Communication of Armenia reflects the country’s efforts and achievements in mitigating climate change through policies improving investment climate in renewable energy and energy efficiency, improving completeness and transparency of GHG Inventory, as well as reflecting challenges that the country face with vulnerability of economy and ecosystems to climate change. Armenia is committed to update country’s NDC in 2020, with an ultimate goal to identify realistic implementation strategy for limitation of greenhouse gas emissions and prioritization of adaptation measures for coping with risks to country’s sustainable development. Armenia is a country with ambitious climate change agenda and puts efforts devoted to low carbon development, increasing the share of renewable energy and promoting energy efficiency, preserving and enhancing forest covered areas. This year, for example, a pan-Armenian large- scale tree planting program will be held, as a result of which 10 million trees are expected to be planted. This is the first significant step taken by Armenia within the frames of the Paris Agreement. The Government of Armenia, adhering to the concept of protection of nature and ecosystems, through improving the environmental impact assessment, has also initiated other processes, such as the adoption of a decision on exemption of VAT for electric cars import, which contributed to significant increase in the number of electric cars imported to Armenia. On behalf of the Government of the Republic of Armenia, I express my acknowledgement to the Global Environmental Facility for financial support, to the United Nations Development Programme for assistance in the preparation of the Fourth National Communication, and to specialists in ministries, national experts and professional institutions for their contribution.

  • Shirak Guidebook
    Wuthering Heights of Shirak -the Land of Steppe and Sky YYerevanerevan 22013013 1 Facts About Shirak FOREWORD Mix up the vast open spaces of the Shirak steppe, the wuthering wind that sweeps through its heights, the snowcapped tops of Mt. Aragats and the dramatic gorges and sparkling lakes of Akhurian River. Sprinkle in the white sheep fl ocks and the cry of an eagle. Add churches, mysterious Urartian ruins, abundant wildlife and unique architecture. Th en top it all off with a turbulent history, Gyumri’s joi de vivre and Gurdjieff ’s mystical teaching, revealing a truly magnifi cent region fi lled with experi- ences to last you a lifetime. However, don’t be deceived that merely seeing all these highlights will give you a complete picture of what Shirak really is. Dig deeper and you’ll be surprised to fi nd that your fondest memories will most likely lie with the locals themselves. You’ll eas- ily be touched by these proud, witt y, and legendarily hospitable people, even if you cannot speak their language. Only when you meet its remarkable people will you understand this land and its powerful energy which emanates from their sculptures, paintings, music and poetry. Visiting the province takes creativity and imagination, as the tourist industry is at best ‘nascent’. A great deal of the current tourist fl ow consists of Diasporan Armenians seeking the opportunity to make personal contributions to their historic homeland, along with a few scatt ered independent travelers. Although there are some rural “rest- places” and picnic areas, they cater mainly to locals who want to unwind with hearty feasts and family chats, thus rarely providing any activities.

  • In-Depth Review of the Investment Climate and Market Structure in the Energy Sector of the REPUBLIC of ARMENIA
    In-depth review of the investment climate and market structure in the energy sector of THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA ENERGY CHARTER SECRETATIAT 22 January 2015 In-depth review of the investment climate and market structure in the energy sector of THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA ENERGY CHARTER SECRETATIAT 22 January 2015 About the Energy Charter The Energy Charter Secretariat is the permanent office based in Brussels supporting the Energy Charter Conference in the implementation of the Energy Charter Treaty. The Energy Charter Treaty and the Energy Charter Protocol on Energy Efficiency and Related Environmental Aspects were signed in December 1994 and entered into legal force in April 1998. To date, the Treaty has been signed or acceded to by fifty-two states, the European Community and Euratom (the total number of its members is therefore fifty-four). The fundamental aim of the Energy Charter Treaty is to strengthen the rule of law on energy issues, by creating a level playing field of rules to be observed by all participating governments, thereby mitigating risks associated with energy-related investment and trade. In a world of increasing interdependence between net exporters of energy and net importers, it is widely recognised that multilateral rules can provide a more balanced and efficient framework for international cooperation than is offered by bilateral agreements alone or by non-legislative instruments. The Energy Charter Treaty therefore plays an important role as part of an international effort to build a legal foundation for energy security, based on the principles of open, competitive markets and sustainable development. The Treaty was developed on the basis of the 1991 Energy Charter.
