Clearing land mines and explosive remnants of war can also harm the environment. In a joint project, CEOBS is working with Norwegian People’s Aid to try and identify how this harm can be reduced. Kendra Dupuy and Linsey Cottrell share their thoughts as they begin the project.
Paper by CEOBS, Goldsmiths University of London and King’s College London on the potential of civilian science – participatory citizen science methodologies – for environmental data collection in areas affected by armed conflicts.
