Since the collapse of the Soviet Union, the pace of industrialisation in the region has been particularly marked. Natural resources exploitation and the colossal investment in oil & gas in the Caspian region have brought the attention of the international community to the pressing need to manage greenhouse gas emissions sustainably. Further, the acute trans-boundary water issues place economic development across the region at risk.

International regulation and national laws are tightening and local policy makers and businesses must adapt to the low-carbon world. Thanks to years of experience working in the region, Irbaris experts have been assisting policy makers to integrate regulation and develop operating frameworks. We have also been supporting leading businesses in the region to develop carbon strategies and implement energy efficiency programmes. In addition, we help businesses to identify opportunities offered by the international carbon market.

Our team has extensive experience of working in other countries of the Former Soviet Union, particularly Russia and Ukraine and countries around the Caspian Sea.
