Lessons learned from earlier conflicts indicate that environmental consequences in Iraq must be addressed as soon as possible to avoid further deterioration of humanitarian and environmental conditions. This publication provides an overview of chronic and war-related environmental issues and identifies the steps needed to safeguard against them using post-war Iraq as a case study. Environmental concerns addressed include: water and power supply, sanitation, and possible pollution from war-damaged sites. The Study also reveals general background information for future work on the environment in Iraq.
