|
The aim of the nationally executed project is to respond to the objectives of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in accordance with its commitments as a Party to the Convention mandated by Articles 4 and 12 of the UNFCCC and 17/CP8. COP decisions. The project is a follow up of previous climate change enabling activities undertaken in the country. It will enable Armenia to present the updated information on Convention implementation in a consistent, transparent and comparable manner. The overall objective of the Project is to maintain and enhance national capacities in order to ensure Convention implementation in a consistent way in accordance with the guidelines set by 17/CP8. The Project will assist to development and strengthening of the national capacities and contribute to mainstreaming the climate change issues into national development plans and policy development procedures, thus enabling the country to confront climate change. In the context of increasing risks of climate change it is important to build capacity in corresponding national structures for mainstreaming climate change in operational guidelines for ensuring climate proofing of programmes and projects planned to be implemented in the country. Environmental Expertise Unit of the Ministry of Nature Protection is the key structure responsible for environmental impact assessment of programmes and projects, thus it’s essential to build corresponding knowledge and ensure appropriate practical implementation capacity for mainstreaming the climate change considerations in the environmental impact assessment process. The objectives of the Task are: a) assess the existing data on climate change mitigation (greenhouse gas emission limitation) and climate change risks related to climate variability and forecasted climate changes on ecosystem services, availability of natural resources, air pollution, and climate change commitments of the country under Paris Agreement; b) on regular basis assess the incorporation of the main climate change considerations in the programmes and projects under EIA submitted for approval to Environmental Expertise Unit of the Ministry of Nature Protection; c) develop recommendations to improve climate change proofing procedures in the EIA process in Armenia, including regulatory improvements, guidelines and professional capacities; d) develop guidelines and deliver on job training for the EIA Environmental Expertise Unit staff, as well as experts involved in EIA.
