Development and Transition, 9th issue, "Energy and the Environment"

Author(s): UNDP BRC and LSE

The ninth issue of Development and Transition newsletter focuses on questions of energy and the environment in our region, with a particular focus on land degradation, biodiversity, water, energy politics, and the role of civil society in pushing for more environmentally friendly policies. The issue discusses land degradation in Central Asia, reforestation in Uzbekistan, potential floods in Tajikistan, biodiversity in Cyprus, environmental NGOs in Central Europe, as well as the successes, failures and implications of Russia's post-2005 gas policies.

Development and Transition is a joint publication of the United Nations Development Programme and the London School of Economics. It aims to be a forum for policy-oriented discussions and debates about how the nature, evolution and challenges of development and transition intersect in Central and Eastern Europe, the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), and Turkey.
