This study provides an overview of the impacts of armed conflict on the environment. To make the issues more readily understandable, the author first describes the various impacts, and the mechanisms behind them, and then outlines a variety of responses to reduce or prevent these impacts. The first section begins by listing the ""actors"" and their ""activities."" The real or potential impacts of their activities are then described in detail. The second section focuses on responses to these impacts, based on actual observations and recommendations from the field.
