Abstract
The attitude of the right to the environment is not necessarily realized in the light of the opinions and theories of developed countries, but probably has its roots in the approaches of developing countries. Also, in the light of the above-mentioned civilizations, environmental rights, which consider their development to be dependent on the interactions of developed countries, have an important position among developing countries, especially Islamic countries. Although the transformational view of this issue has not been very fast in Islamic countries, the performance of these countries has been relatively successful in adhering to international commitments. With this description, the current research aims to explain this importance, and deals with the evolutionary approach of environmental rights in Islamic countries. Also, this research seeks to answer the question, how is the approach of Islamic countries to the issue of the right to the environment evaluated? Therefore, it seems that the performance of Islamic countries in adhering to the right to the environment and a developmental view of environmental rights is appropriate.
