Final National Conference on Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production in Armenia

The overall objective of the Resource Efficient and Cleaner Production (RECP) Demonstration Component of the EU funded EaP GREEN Programme is to improve resource productivity and environmental performance of businesses and other organizations in the target industry sectors of the Eastern Partnership Economies, including Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine and thereby contribute to sustainable industrial development and generation of employment and incomes. This is achieved through the widespread implementation of RECP concepts, methods, techniques and policies by businesses and other organizations, governments at all levels, and providers of business services, including advisory and financial services.

In Armenia, RECP Demonstration component of the EaP GREEN Programme was implemented by UNIDO since 2014. The aim of the forthcoming Final National Conference is to share the objectives and outputs of the RECP project in Armenia. The conference will present RECP activities conducted in Armenia, highlighting the benefits of resource efficient, environmentally friendly business procedures and results of RECP applications for demonstration companies which were interested in running their business alongside the principles of sustainable development and green economy.

The conference will be organized to draw on the expertise and insights of stakeholders representing government, business and civil society to customize and domesticate RECP into the national context in Armenia, including business and government agendas, natural resource and environmental issues, business organization, language and culture.
