Abstract

Increasing the volatility and environmental threats of the human being has made it necessary to persevere in their lives. Today, there are many ways to deal with environmental crises and to improve the situation. In the meantime, the approach of developing environmental culture by utilizing the capacity of environmental NGOs is a low-cost, inclusive and highly societal approach that can be considered as an appropriate basis for protecting the country's environment through state-sponsored support. In this paper, using the descriptive-analytical method, this question is answered: "What are the supporting and supporting tasks for the government to promote and promote the participation of the organizations of the environmental NGO?" By examining the question, the result is that in the system Green law, governments, given the capacity of NGOs, give these organizations the opportunity to participate in regulation, participation in the lawsuit and monitoring and enforcement of laws and regulations. In the legal system of Iran for environmental NGOs, the role of the judiciary (the right to charge a crime) and participation in the preparation and implementation of environmental protection programs are foreseen. Nevertheless, the shortcomings and exceptions, as well as the possibility to remove and modify the list of active environments in the field of environment by government officials, can undermine government commitments and, more importantly, achieve the goal of a healthy and green environment. In this article, the authors analyze the foundations and requirements for analyzing the challenges and proposing a proposal.
