Abstract :

International regimes play a key role in managing environmental crises, especially in regions such as West Asia, which faces numerous environmental challenges such as water scarcity, air pollution, and climate change. This study examines the dimensions and impact of these regimes by posing the main question, “What role do international regimes play in managing environmental crises in West Asia?” The main hypothesis of the study states that international regimes, by establishing regional and international cooperation frameworks, have been able to play an effective role in reducing and managing environmental crises in West Asia, but this role has been limited due to political, economic, and cultural reasons in the region. The research method is descriptive-analytical and information was collected through library studies, statistical data analysis, and review of relevant international documents and treaties. The conclusion of this study suggests that strengthening the role of international regimes in managing environmental crises in West Asia requires more active participation of regional countries, increased commitment to environmental treaties, and the creation of more coordinated regional structures to address environmental challenges. This can lead to improved environmental quality and sustainable development in the region.
