Kaveh Madani, a Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the Middle East Institute (MEI) and a Visiting Professor at Imperial College London, discusses some aspects of the current water bankruptcy problem in Iran.
He argues that the lack of environmental justice in Khuzestan is one of the main causes of the recent protests in this Iranian province.
In his opinion, climate change has functioned as the catalyst of the ongoing water and environmental problems in Iran. So, he argues that blaming the problems that have been caused by decades of bad management on climate change is misleading.
