ABSTRACT Since the late 1990s, Iranian Kurdistan has hosted a wide range of NGOs, engaging in different sociocultural activities. Within this development, establishing environmental associations has been a noteworthy trend, to the extent that almost every city of Iranian Kurdistan has its own environmental society. Even though Kurdish environmental societies have been established according to Iranian law and regulations, conducting environmental activities has been shown to be a risky affair, resulting in imprisonment, assassination and other unpredictable consequences for activists. This paper argues that the Iranian government exercises a securitised approach to environmentalism in the country’s Kurdistan region. This study investigates the factors underlying the securitisation of Kurdish environmentalism.

伊朗库尔德斯坦的环境保护主义：证券化的原因和条件

摘要自1990年代后期以来，伊朗库尔德斯坦组织了各种非政府组织，从事各种社会文化活动。在这种发展中，建立环境协会一直是一个值得注意的趋势，在一定程度上，几乎每个伊朗库尔德斯坦城市都有自己的环境社会。即使根据伊朗法律和法规建立了库尔德人环境协会，但事实证明，开展环境活动是一项冒险活动，对活动分子造成监禁，暗杀和其他无法预测的后果。本文认为，伊朗政府对库尔德斯坦地区的环境主义采取了证券化的态度。这项研究调查了库尔德环保主义证券化的潜在因素。
