POPULATION RISK GROUPS TO BE FIRST TO SUFFER FROM CLIMATE CHANGES

Lilit Grigoryan, Iratec – de facto

Specialists have estimated that average annual temperature increase will make up +1,3 degrees (from +0,6 degrees to maximum +2,1 degrees). Annual precipitation in our country will reduce by 3% by 2030 and by 10% by 2100. The lower level of forest border will get higher, while the territory of Alpine zone will get reduced. Decrease in productivity of fruit vegetables and grain crops is expected, as well as that of cattle breeding.
