On May 16, “Armenia’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC 3.0) 2025–2030” pre-validation workshop was held as part of the UNDP “Climate Promise Armenia - From Pledge to Impact” project.
The workshop aimed to present the results of the assessment of Armenia’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) implementation for the period 2021–2030, and to engage stakeholders in discussing and validating the early insights of enhanced mitigation ambition and goals, as well as adaptation component of NDC 3.0, and its broader socio-economic implications.
Opening remarks were delivered by Aram Meymaryan, Deputy Minister of Environment of the Republic of Armenia; Natia Natsvlishvili, UNDP Resident Representative in Armenia; and Claudia Ortiz, Global Climate Change Strategies Specialist. All three underscored the importance of active involvement from the expert community and stakeholders in shaping NDC 3.0.
“Especially thanks to our cooperation with UNDP, Armenia has made great progress with the three UN environmental conventions, both in terms of commitments, development of relevant documents, and integration of climate change-related issues into the sectoral development strategies. The development of the NDC 3.0 and its integration into all sectors is of great importance for achieving the country's goals in the long term,” noted Aram Meymaryan.
“The purpose of today’s workshop is to present the preliminary components of Armenia’s NDC 3.0 for stakeholder feedback and validation. Your feedback today is essential. It will help ensure that the updated NDC is not only technically sound but also inclusive, equitable, and nationally owned. A strong, credible NDC 3.0 will send a clear signal — to the citizens, development partners, and the global community — that Armenia remains a reliable and proactive actor in global climate efforts”, emphasized Ms. Natsvlisvili․
The development of Armenia’s Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC 3.0) for the period 2025–2030 is being carried out by Civitta, an international consulting firm selected through a competitive tender process under the UNDP “Climate Promise Armenia – From Pledge to Impact” project.
