Iran calls for protecting nature from wars to ensure enduring peace

The Iranian official was unable to attend the seminar in person as she was in northern Iran, where wildfires have been raging in the city of Chalus over the past week.

“We must deeply understand that the future of peace and the future of humanity depend on the future of the environment. If nature is destroyed, sustainable peace will not endure. Our responsibility—as policymakers, researchers, and specialists—is to ensure that the environment, this invaluable and irreplaceable asset, does not remain the silent victim of wars,” she said.
