OREANDA-NEWS. On 21 April 2008 the Regional Bureau of UNDP announced the launch of next issue of "Transition and Development" journal, which covers a large variety of topics, including political, economic and environmental issues of the countries of the region undergoing transition.

The issue 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. It also features articles generated by our offices in Cyprus and Uzbekistan, as well as from the Bratislava Regional Centre (BRC) and from our newsletter partners at the London School of Economics.
