Climate finance and funding proposals
Adaptation Fund and Green Climate Fund proposals, country programmes and readiness support.
Safety first. Environment always.
Local ground. Global standards
Since 2012, Consecoard has prepared the impact assessments, safeguard plans and climate-finance proposals behind projects across Armenia, to national law and to World Bank, ADB, KfW and Adaptation Fund standards.
One team for Armenian law and international safeguards.
Every internationally financed project in Armenia answers to two reviewers: the state, through environmental impact assessment and expertise, and the lender, through its safeguard policy. We prepare work that satisfies both, drawing on fieldwork in every region of the country and a multidisciplinary team of environmental scientists, economists, social development, legal and biodiversity specialists.

Insights
Regulation
What the June 2026 amendments to Armenia's EIA law change
Strategic assessment now names its sectors and gains a screening stage, schools skip a separate EIA, and afforestation projects lose a state duty.

Practice note
EIA and ESIA: one project, two approvals
Internationally financed projects in Armenia answer to national law and to the lender. Planning both from the start saves time and fieldwork.

Practice note
What construction-phase environmental monitoring covers
An ESIA sets out commitments. On site, a CEMP, site plans, audits and measurements make sure they are kept.
