July 2 to 4, Armenia's capital hosted a regional conference on
climate changes.
The conference discussed the latest processes in implementing the
United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
At a press conference on Thursday, Armenia's First Deputy Minister of
Nature Protection Simon Papyan noted that it was the first large-scale
conference on climate change in Yerevan. Seventy-three guests from 33
countries and 11 international organizations participated in the event.
He pointed out a number of important factors. "First, the conference
created preconditions for further cooperation. Second, we were able
to show our modest record of achievements. Also, there was a cultural
program, and we were able to show the participants our historical
and cultural heritage," Papyan said.
Aram Gabrielyan, UNFCCC National Coordinator in Armenia, noted that
the 20-year-long discussions with developed countries produced their
results - 150 other countries joined the 39 developed countries in
their efforts to reduce gaseous emissions.
Armenia's "modest record of achievements" includes the biogas
producing plant in Lusakert. "This shows our efforts in this field,"
Gabrielyan said.
"Armenia's natural resources are being depleted, and we are going to
have serious problems without proper nature management," Papyan admits.
Energy, transport and agricultural sectors are the main causes of
greenhouse gases in Armenia.
In 1990s, greenhouse gas emissions totaled 24m tons, whereas this
amount is 6 to 6.5m tons.
