Energy efficiency and alternative energy in rural Armenia for a sustainable future

Forests in Armenia have been diminishing for decades due to excessive logging for firewood. Yet forests play a crucial role in enhancing the country’s resilience and coping potential against the risks of climate change. At the same time, energy supply in the poorer rural areas is hardly guaranteed and people are forced to resort to illegal logging during cold winter times.

Together with partners, GIZ Armenia is working on different suitable solutions to both reduce the pressure on forests in the country and sustainably increase the access of the rural population to reliable sources of energy.
