The Environment and Armenia’s State Budget: 3 Seminars in a Week, August 2 at 6 PM
August 2, 2013 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm +04
The series will touch on the critical topic of the state’s use of economic instruments, such as taxes, fees, fines, penalties, and the like, to regulate the use of the country’s natural capital. It will also examine the revenues generated from the use of this capital in support of the state budget.
In Armenia, these economic instruments fall into two broad categories, natural resource use fees (and more recently royalties for minerals) and environmental-protection fees. Each seminar will cover a different economic instrument and one session will focus on areas in need of change and possible pathways for this change:
Monday, July 29, “Natural Resource Use Fees & Royalties”
Wednesday, July 31, “Environmental Protection Fees”
Friday, August 2, “Possible Paths for Change”
The speaker will be Mr. Ashot Harutunyan, Head of the Department of Monitoring of Environmental Strategic Programs, RA Ministry of Nature Protection. Mr. Harutunyan is one of the foremost experts in the country on economic instruments in the environmental sector.
Seminars are open to the public and will held at the American University of Armenia, 40 Baghramyan Ave, Alex & Marie Manoogian Hall, Paramaz Avedisian Building, 18:00-19:30 hours (6-7:30pm)
