Environmental Measures in Yerevan's Development Program for 2025

The Yerevan development program for 2025 includes measures aimed at environmental protection, reduction of carbon emissions, and promotion of sustainable lifestyles. 9.7% of the municipality budget for 2025 will be allocated for these measures. The total budget amounts to 159,399,554.2 thousand AMD.

In 2025, a project-estimate for the establishment of a community park of about 230 hectares around Dalma will be prepared. As a result of this measure, the green area per capita in Yerevan will exceed 9 sq. m.

In 2025, the creation of the Nubarashen forest layer is planned, covering about 10 hectares. Measures aimed at closing Nubarashen landfill site and constructing a new, modern, and safe landfill site are not specified in the program. However, it mentions that "efforts will be made towards the construction of a recycling center."

In 2025, 25% of the roofs of municipal buildings will be covered with solar panels, resulting in a 15% increase in the amount of energy produced on the roofs for municipal needs.

Within the framework of Yerevan's energy efficiency program, energy-saving improvement works will be carried out in 47 public buildings, ensuring about 30% energy savings, and CO2 emissions will be reduced by about 10 tons annually.
