It is well understood that engagement of socially responsible businesses is critical to address climate challenges faced by Armenia and increase resilience of our communities.

Financial intermediaries are welcomed to share information about “green finance” products made available for their clients and provide them with the opportunity to select the one that is mostly suitable for their needs. At the meantime, for individual users this is a good starting point to learn the basics of “green finance” (through respective video lessons that are uploaded) and follow key developments at the international scene.
