| Summary: | Climate change is a major risk to good
development outcomes, and the World Bank Group is committed
to playing an important role in helping countries integrate
climate action into their core development agendas. The
World Bank Group (WBG) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB)
are committed to supporting client countries to invest in
and build a low-carbon, climate resilient future, helping
them to be better prepared to adapt to current and future
climate impacts. This document aims to succinctly summarize
the climate risks faced by Armenia. This includes rapid
onset and long-term changes in key climate parameters, as
well as impacts of these changes on communities,
livelihoods, and economies, many of which are already
underway. This is a high-level synthesis of existing
research and analyses, focusing on the geographic domain of
Armenia, therefore potentially excluding some international
influences and localized impacts. The core data presented is
sourced from the database sitting behind the World Bank
Group’s Climate Change Knowledge Portal (CCKP),
incorporating climate projections from the Coupled Model
Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). This document is
primarily meant for WBG and ADB staff to inform their
climate actions. The document also aims to direct the reader
to many useful sources of secondary data and research. |
