Hambardzum Matevosyan joins high-level COP31 discussion on interministerial cooperation for the green transition

Armenia’s Environment Minister Hambardzum Matevosyan took part in a high-level discussion on interministerial cooperation to pursue opportunities for the green transition and support economic transformation. The discussion was held as part of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP31) in Antalya, Türkiye. Matevosyan shared details of the discussion on his Facebook page.

“I presented Armenia’s experience, highlighting the joint work of the environment and finance ministries, the climate law and mandatory climate expenditure tagging in the state budgeting process. These tools allow climate priorities to be incorporated into public financial management and the assessment of investment programmes.

“I stressed that delivering on climate commitments requires coordinated work, linking economic planning and financial decisions to emissions reduction and climate adaptation goals,” Matevosyan wrote.
