We have extensive experience in providing environmental and social assessment and management services to hydropower and power transmission projects in Asia and Africa at all phases – from prefeasibility environmental and social assessments through construction and operations monitoring to decommissioning and closure.
Earth Systems combines experience with a strong understanding of international standards, including the Equator Principles and International Finance Corporation’s Performance Standards. This knowledge, coupled with an understanding of local regulatory systems and cultural sensitivities allows us to assist our clients in meeting regulatory requirements for project permitting and/or financing.
Earth Systems also offers Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) services to help renewable energy projects in developing countries take advantage of the opportunities provided by the Kyoto Protocol.
