Abstract

Despite the antiquity of drafting environmental laws in Iran, the environmental situation is not favorable based on the goals of the vision and general environmental policies, as evidenced by valid international indicators. This article has pursued two main goals, one of which is to express the most important challenges of environmental policy in Iran in the solution phase and the second is to prioritize the challenges to achieve the first goal by sampling snowballs from senior and middle managers in the field of environment. The three forces, as well as university professors and PhD students in policy (political science) and various fields of environment and management, were selected and questioned using a questionnaire. Finally, 6 major policy challenges were identified, in the second phase since the goal The data were limited in order, the data were arranged in descending order in terms of frequency and items that were agreed upon by at least 50% of the respondents. And with a confidence coefficient (Cronbach's alpha) of 0.9 was confirmed. Finally, the final questionnaire was given to 400 experts to choose their orientation. "Special economic and political factors have a lot of influence in providing environmental solutions." With a rating of 5.31, it was more important than the others, which is debatable.
