Armenia
This project will contribute to supporting the Government of Armenia’s National Adaptation Plan by integrating human mobility into climate change decision-making at different levels of governance. Over 24 months, this project will aim to integrate gender-disaggregated migration data, geospatial data, environmental data, poverty data, and vulnerability data to better understand the environmental implications of the current situation of significant returns due to conflict and COVID-19, with a special focus on environmentally fragile communities, communities at risk from climate impacts, and mountain communities.
This will be achieved through four outputs: Firstly, marz-level decisionmakers in Armenia will be better equipped to understand, monitor and report on the gender-sensitive environmental implications of the migrant returns due to the socio-economic impacts of COVID-19 in the sending communities. Secondly, an operational climate change adaptation decision-support tool that meets the needs of the selected marzes will be developed. Thirdly, relevant government entities in Armenia, at central and local levels, will gain the required knowledge and skills to operate and maintain the climate change adaptation decision-support tool. Finally, government stakeholders will have capacity development training on the migration, environment and climate change nexus in the context of climate action in Armenia, to inform policy development and alignment with UNFCCC’s Human Mobility Work Programme.
