Abstract:

Much has been said about the rulings on environmental degradation in Iranian and Western jurisprudence and law, but less has been said about the instances of degradation. Identifying the instances as subjects of rulings helps the legislator to be able to legislate properly. In this regard, this paper tries to examine the degradation examples of the environment with the help of tables and figures. Some of these instances are mentioned in Iranian law and international documents, which are dealt with separately. Instances include population growth, over-exploitation of fisheries, and overproduction of greenhouse gases, which the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have addressed with shocking statistics. Organic composition of Methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) in the field of drinking water pollution, deforestation, land warming factors and nuclear explosions are also instances.
