As pollution levels rise and schools in Iran frequently close, vulnerable children are increasingly being forced into exploitative labor. The Iranian regime’s mismanagement has led to widespread educational disruption, with many impoverished families compelled to pull their children from classrooms to work. From 2021 to 2025, Iran has effectively lost an academic year due to these closures, resulting in a surge of school dropouts, particularly among low-income families. The situation reflects a systemic crisis of poverty and neglect, where child labor becomes a necessity rather than a choice. Without urgent government intervention, an entire generation risks being lost to exploitation and poverty.

A project initiated by Japan and UNDP aims to develop conservation systems from 2024 to 2028. However, challenges like overconsumption of water, climate change, and vulnerable agricultural practices threaten the lake. Ongoing initiatives seek to implement water-saving measures and enhance resource management for sustainability.
