International Seminar Series on Iran's Environmental Sustainability

About This Project

The objectives of these seminars are to raise awareness of Iran’s environmental challenges in a regional context; to create an academic and policy network for collaborative work over these problems; to create a forum for discussing and exchanging ideas and seeking solutions; and to encourage best practice in formulating and implementing sustainable environmental policies in national and regional contexts.

These seminars will build on the international symposium on the challenges facing Iran’s natural heritage sponsored and coordinated by the Soudavar Memorial Foundation in partnership with Iran Heritage Foundation (IHF), the Persian Wildlife Foundation (PWF) and in association with the London Middle East Institute (SOAS), the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED), I.B.Tauris Publishers and the Persian Wildlife Heritage Foundation (PWHF). It further complements Iran Heritage Foundation and SOAS’ Visiting Fellowship programme in ‘Iran’s Environmental Sustainability’, also inaugurated in 2014.
