The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Socioeconomic Impact Assessment (SEIA) on Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) in Northern Sri Lanka, led by Lanka Environment Fund (LEF) and The HALO Trust,together  with Dr. Devaka K. Weerakoon and the Centre for Poverty Analysis (CEPA), aimed to assess the long-term environmental and socioeconomic consequences of ERW contamination and clearance in the region. The project also considered the compounded effects of climate change, providing a framework for sustainable land rehabilitation and ecosystem restoration.

A one-pager was created to summarize the key findings and recommendations from both the EIA and SEIA. This document provides a concise overview of the environmental impacts, such as habitat degradation, biodiversity loss, and climate change challenges, as well as the socioeconomic challenges faced by local communities. The one-pager outlines actionable recommendations for integrating environmental considerations into clearance operations and promoting climate-smart strategies to ensure sustainable recovery and resilience for both ecosystems and communities.
