Armenia găzduiește un forum de mediu al ONU, în pofida lacunelor din propriile politici ecologice • Newsweek România

Armenia is hosting the UN biodiversity conference while facing significant environmental policy challenges. The country aims to join the EU but struggles with issues like untreated wastewater and mining practices that prioritize extraction over environmental protection. Despite ambitious promises, Armenia's environmental management remains inadequate, with only a fraction of its wastewater treated and outdated forest inventories. The government holds a stake in a cyanide-using mine, raising concerns about its commitment to biodiversity. As the conference approaches, Armenia's environmental record casts doubt on its role as a model for others in the region.
