description |
The objective of this report is to
provide an estimate of the cost of environmental degradation
in Iran. Despite the difficulties involved in assigning
monetary values to environmental degradation, such estimates
can be a powerful tool to raise awareness about
environmental issues and facilitate progress toward
sustainable development. It is hoped that this study will
provide an instrument for policymakers to better integrate
the environment into economic development decisions. In
2002, the annual cost of environmental degradation in Iran
was estimated at 4.8 to 10 percent of GDP, with a mean
estimate of 7.4 percent (equivalent to US$8.4 billion or IRR
67,300 billion). |
