Although scientists have felt the dangers of environmental degradation from a long time ago and were sure about its’ adverse consequences and the need to change human behavior towards the only livable plant, But in the past four decades have taken practical steps through numerous international and Inter-governmental conferences and sometimes implementation of their decisions. Meanwhile, Quran as the holy book of Muslims with a quarter of the global population, has refered to fundamental issues in relation to the environment, human and creation of the universe, that could be the basis of different environmental policies in the Muslim world and can be used as the agenda for their representatives in these communities. The purpose of this paper is to get acquainted with environmental concepts in the Quran and adapting them with seven international environmental conferences since 1972. Research method is descriptive and documental analytical referring to the final statement of conferences and searchig Quran and based on the authentic interpretations of texts and translations with deductive approach.
