ASSESSMENT OF GHG EMISSIONS MITIGATION POTENTIAL IN ANIMAL FARMING SECTOR OF THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA (2010) This report aims at assessing the potential for GHG emission reduction from the animal farming in Armenia. It covers the following: (i) agricultural waste resources, using information available in the public sources, a database of large and medium animal and poultry farms operating on the territory of Armenia; (ii) potential options for implementation of CDM projects based on collected data; (iii) information on site-visits to the operating farms: justification of the selection of most promising projects, collected data based on questionnaires; (iv) preliminary assessment of identified perspective projects; (v) three CDM Project Identification Notes (PINs) for selected projects. This document is prepared in the framework of Armenia's SNC Project with co-funding of UNDP and the Norwegian Vekst Foundation. Download in English_2.57MB.pdf |

RENEWABLE ENERGY USE IN THE WORLD AND IN ARMENIA: INNOVATIONS TOWARDS CLEAN TECHNOLOGIES (2009) The brochure discusses issues on renewable energy: solar, wind, biomass and geothermal energy, their available resources, the most modern technologies and their application, market development perspectives, regulatory mechanisms, in the context of climate change mitigation. Since there has been significant progress in development of small hydropower plants in Armenia recently, it was considered reasonable to present these issues in a special brochure. The brochure can be used by students, lecturers, engineers as well as by a large group of readers interested in the advancement of renewable and alternative energy technologies and their possible application in Armenia. |

Complex Assessment of Climate Change Impact on Water Resources in Marmarik River Basin, Republic of Armenia (2009) Taking into account the water resources vulnerability in Armenia, the objective of the current task is to focus on Marmarik river catchment basin in Armenia to assess water resources vulnerability and to substantiate the proposed adaptation measures via an economic assessment. This pilot study has been implemented within the UNDP/GEF "Enabling Activities for the Preparation of Armenia's Second National Communication to UNFCCC" to produce a complex assessment of climate change impacts on water resources of Marmarik River Basin of Armenia.
