The 2001 Strategic Environmental Assessment provides an overview of the environmental status of Kosovo as well as the driving forces behind its environmental problems. It presents the responses to environmental problems by the international donor community and the input from the Kosovo Consolidated Budget, amongst others through the United Nations Department of Environmental Protection.

Finally it provides an overview of recommended concrete actions directed at solving (parts of) the main environmental problems of Kosovo. The report is prepared on the basis of information gained from several local and international reports and 24 interviews with key experts in Kosovo.
