On May 15, the world celebrates the International Climate Day

Since the late 1980s of the last centuries, the issues of climate change have been actively discussed.
Global climate change leads to an increase in the frequency and intensity of dangerous hydrometeorological phenomena, such as floods, droughts, storms, tornadoes, from unprecedented heat to unusual frosts.
For the first time, the problems of global climate warming were discussed at the international summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. In order to stabilize the level of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and, as a result, prevent the occurrence of the greenhouse effect or reduce its negative impact on the Earth's climate, more than 180 representatives signed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
In December 1997, representatives of 190 world powers signed the Kyoto Protocol, an additional document of the Framework Convention obliging each State to reduce or stabilize greenhouse gas emissions.
Climate change is no longer a reality.
The impact of climate change on various spheres of human activity is growing every day all over the world. In this context, adaptation measures that help mitigate or prevent the harmful effects of climate change, as well as find solutions for life and development in new climatic conditions, are vital.
Armenia is also implementing a number of processes aimed at adapting to climate change, for the effectiveness of which each of us must do more to save our earth and planet from the devastating effects of climate change.
