Policy Analysis on Migration, Environment and Climate Change: Armenia

The study aims to increase understanding of how and to what extent migration in the context of climate change and environmental degradation has been mainstreamed into Armenian national policy, legal and strategic documents. The methodology for this mapping exercise comprises two major steps: First, it identifies relevant laws, policies and strategies related to climate change, the environment, disaster risk reduction, sustainable development, agriculture, rural development, urban development, gender, migration and remittances in Armenia. Second, it analyses these documents for content on the migration, environment and climate change nexus and links the Armenian landscape with global approaches to the nexus.
