dc.description	The World Bank Group’s Country Climate and Development Reports (CCDRs) are a core diagnostic that integrates climate change and development. They help countries prioritize the most impactful actions that can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and boost adaptation and resilience, while delivering on broader development goals. CCDRs build on data and rigorous research and identify main pathways to reduce GHG emissions and climate vulnerabilities, including the costs and challenges as well as benefits and opportunities from doing so. The reports suggest concrete, priority actions to support the low-carbon, resilient transition. As public documents, CCDRs aim to inform governments, citizens, the private sector and development partners and enable engagements with the development and climate agenda. CCDRs feed into other core Bank Group diagnostics, country engagements and operations, and help attract funding and direct financing for high-impact climate action.	en

dc.description.abstract	This Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) explores Armenia’s intertwined climate and development challenges, presenting a comprehensive roadmap toward a cleaner environment, healthier communities, and a resilient economy. It highlights the economic and energy security advantages of transitioning from a gas-dependent to a solar-powered economy while acknowledging Armenia’s vulnerability due to its energy-intensive structure. The report emphasizes the urgency of adaptation investments to mitigate water stress, land degradation, and natural disasters, with a particular focus on boosting water efficiency and storage and adopting climate-smart agricultural practices. Key policy recommendations include fiscal and institutional reforms, alongside substantial investment needs in critical sectors such as energy, water, agriculture, and public infrastructure. Achieving a resilient, low-carbon pathway will require an estimated $8 billion investment between 2025 and 2060 (2.5% of GDP per year), with the benefits expected to outweigh the costs. The report also stresses the essential role of private sector engagement and innovative financing, including public-private partnerships and a sustainable finance framework, to mobilize the necessary resources.
