Pazkhian: The environment is a silent victim of wars.
In his speech at the 30th UN Climate Change Summit (COP31), the President emphasized the need to examine the concept of shared responsibility, climate justice and the relationship between peace and the environment, and emphasized that it is impossible to talk about the future of the planet, but was indifferent to the environmental consequences of wars and military conflicts.
One of the silent victims of the wars described that the effects of its destruction will remain for generations after the end of the hostilities.
According to estimates, the attack on the fuel facilities in Asaluya caused the release of about 500 thousand tons and the attack on the fuel tanks around Tehran caused the release of one million tons of carbon dioxide.
This situation is a clear contradiction to the global efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; International mechanisms for documenting environmental damage must be strengthened, to prevent the repetition of such actions and to hold the perpetrators accountable.
