Climate change is one of the most important environmental changes in the contemporary world which requires serious attention from governments and nations. The sensitivity of climate change in the Middle East and in particular in Iran has increased over the past decades, with phenomena such as drought, low rainfall, and dust particles causing concern.
According to scientific studies, climate change affects important sectors of the economy and, consequently, social life. Tourism, agriculture and related industries, as well as healthcare, are among the most affected sectors of the economy where climate change has a real impact.
The International Conference to be held in November 2019 will focus mainly on global warming and reducing its damaging effect on the region. The Conference will also deal with monitoring and climate prediction, effects of climate change, and how to cope with climate change.
