With the aim of monitoring the quality and properties of the environment and providing appropriate information for the administration, the Government, and the Assembly of Kosovo for the implementation of policies for environmental protection based on the Environmental Protection Law, the Kosovo Environmental Protection Agency has prepared the Annual Report on the State of the Environment for the year 2023.
The report contains data on the overall state of the environment in Kosovo, specifically regarding the air, soil, water, biodiversity sectors, and climatological changes. Presented with visual representations, it includes the condition of endangered environments and the impact of environmental pollution on public health. The implementation of projects, plans, and programs for environmental protection, the development of environmental institutions, as well as the financing of the environmental protection system from the state budget and donations, are an important part included in this report.
This annual report, in addition to presenting the state of the environment for the year 2023, also advances and compares the quality of environmental data in some cases with the previous year and in other cases with the preceding three (3) years.
For the preparation of the report, AMMK has collected environmental data from monitoring institutions, operators, various enterprises, publications, reports, and other sources. The collected data have been processed into qualitative environmental information, presented in this report. The purpose of the report is to inform decision-making institutions about the state of the environment in Kosovo, and based on the findings and recommendations, to develop policies, draft and implement legislation, and plan strategic investments.
