IMPROVING THE ECONOMIC TOOLKIT OF REGULATION OF ATMOSPHERIC EMISSIONS FROM STATIONARY SOURCES IN ARMENIA

Abstract

In recent times escalating environmental problems have posed serious challenges to the sustainable development of society. Among those problems, the reduction of atmospheric air pollution has received a global and primary manifestation due to the threats of global climate change and deterioration of public health. Thus, the development and implementtation of measures aimed at the improvement and development of atmospheric emission prevention mechanisms in the context of sustainable development plays a key role. Efforts aimed at reducing emissions into the atmosphere are also highly relevant in Armenia. The low level of capturing of harmful substances detached from stationary sources of atmospheric emissions and the tendency of emissions to increase in the republic indicate the urgency of improving the efficiency of the national economic mechanism of atmospheric air protection. Therefore, the identification of the existing problems of the applied economic toolkit, the implementation of steps and programs developed on the basis of successful international experience to solve them, as well as to replenish the economic tools, can contribute to a more effective realization of the potential of the economic toolkit and the provision of ecological and economic comparable results, creating real opportunities for ensuring the sustainable development of Armenia.
