The issue discusses land degradation in Central Asia, reforestation in Uzbekistan, potential flooding 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. The newsletter is available in both English and Russian at www.developmentandtransition.net <http://www.developmentandtransition.net/> . To receive future issues, please sign up for a free subscription on the website. /Development and Transition /is a joint publication of the United Nations Development Programme and the London School of Economics.
