Norwegian People’s Aid (NPA) and the Conflict and Environment Observatory (CEOBS) invite you to our upcoming webinar. We’ll be presenting the findings from our latest report, “Assessing Environmental Degradation from Explosive Weapons in Southern Ukraine”, which will be available on January 16th.

Armed conflicts can severely impact the environment, posing risks to human health and ecosystems. In 2024, NPA and CEOBS conducted a pilot study in southern Ukraine to explore pollution from explosive weapons and military activities on soil and water resources. Our report sheds light on the environmental consequences of war, including substantial pollution, infrastructure damage, and potential threats to agriculture. During the webinar, we will share the background for the study, how we gathered critical environmental data, our findings and recommendations.
