Environmental Assessment: Albania
Albania has been undergoing a profound transition during the past decade. The Kosovo conflict added a new and urgent dimension to humanitarian challenges and efforts. This publication provides the results of an investigation of the environmental impact of the Kosovo conflict on Albania. The assessment focused on three core areas: environmental 'hot spots' requiring immediate attention; the environmental consequences of refugee influxes from the Kosovo conflict; and Albania's environmental institutions and policies.

Environmental Assessment: Depleted Uranium in Bosnia and Herzegovina
This report studies the effects of Depleted Uranium (DU) ammunition in Bosnia and Herzegovina after the conflict of 1994-95. Investigations at 14 sites revealed that DU was present at three of the sites more than seven years after the conflict. Soil, water, and air samples were tested, and for the first time in the Balkans, DU was found to be present in drinking water samples. The report recommends precautionary steps in the form of decontamination and clean-up. It goes on to suggest that further studies be undertaken in other regions where DU ammunition has been used.

Environmental Assessment: Depleted Uranium in Kosovo
This report presents the findings of the first-ever international assessment of the environmental impact of depleted uranium (DU) when used in a real conflict situation. Following the confirmation by NATO that DU had been used during the Kosovo conflict, the United Nations Environment Programme organized a scientific field mission to investigate the possible environmental consequences. This report presents its findings and conclusions on the presence and extent of DU contamination at the areas studied, the corresponding risks to the environment, and possible mitigation actions.

Environmental Assessment in Afghanistan
Since February 2002 UNEP has been working with the new transitional Afghanistan government to assess the post conflict environmental needs in the country. This report examines the environmental problems facing the country such as pollution, deforestation, land degradation, erosion and desertification, as well as problems with surface and ground water management. It also reveals the new government's intention to strengthen environmental protection and rehabilitation, a measure that could lead to new jobs in reforestation, water and waste management, renewable energies and nature tourism.
