Abstract
The environment, serving as the habitat for human life, has provided the platform for human development on this terrestrial sphere. However, the natural environment has encountered various challenges due to human activities and their excessive demands. Not many years have passed since environmental issues were introduced in the field of security literature, today the significance of threats arising from the environment and their impacts on personal, societal, and national security is undeniable. The emergence of these threats establishes a basis for their dissemination to other parts of the world. In other words, such threats are not confined to a specific location or government. Consequently, Iran is not exempt from this matter; rather, it has consistently grappled with such threats. In fact, environmental degradation in our country has escalated within its geographical boundaries in the past years, reaching crisis levels in some instances. The present article aims at exploring the consequences of environmental threats on societal security, endeavoring to address the fundamental question of the impact of environmental threats on Iran's societal security. In response, the underlying assumption is that environmental threats and their resulting consequences, such as migration issues, appear to pose a risk to Iran's societal security by challenging the identity of individuals and social groups. To investigate topic, a descriptive-analytical approach was employed, utilizing the theoretical framework of societal security and referring to relevant library documents and resources.
