Iran tells COP31 it wants compensation for environmental damage from US-Israeli strikes
Pezeshkian said climate rules should cover war damage and compensation, arguing military strikes have caused oil leaks and other environmental harm.
- On Nov 11, Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian told the COP31 climate conference in Antalya, Turkey, that his nation requires compensation for environmental damage caused by Israeli and other military strikes.
- The demand follows a military campaign launched against Iran in late February, which has involved repeated strikes on energy infrastructure and shipping across the Gulf and Lebanon.
- Pezeshkian stated, "Document and assess the environmental damages caused by military aggressions," arguing that current climate finance agreements lack provisions covering military-related environmental impacts.
- Tankers attacked by Iran while navigating the Strait of Hormuz during the conflict have caused substantial oil leaks, contributing to documented environmental damage throughout the region.
- A report from a consortium of International scientists released on Tuesday said global fossil fuel emissions are on track to fall slightly this year, partly due to high fuel prices and expanded renewable energy use following the conflict.
