YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The environmental cost of war on Iran will be felt for generations to come, says the renowned U.N. scientist and former Iranian politician Kaveh Madani.

“All the weapons that have been produced have had carbon footprints — the missiles that fly, the jets, the tanks that are burned, the oil fields that are being attacked and the gas fields that are being burned. All of these are producing a lot of greenhouse gas emissions."

Kaveh Madani was recently awarded the 2026 Stockholm Water Prize for his pioneering work on the concept of water bankruptcy. He served as the deputy head of Iran’s Department of Environment, but went into exile after his work on water scarcity brought accusations of sabotage.
