The methodology for the Safe Environment for SAZ-SE puts together the following elements:

  • Produce as many portfolios as necessary with one working document for each disaster/ risk exposure inflicted by the Iranian state against SAZ-SE and expose the ongoing policy malpractices, e.g. malpractices in dam building in the Lake Urmia basin, pumping aquifers, tree felling crimes, mining, …
  • The working document will develop the SPRC (Source, Pathways, Receptors and Consequences) analysis of the malpractice, the context of malpractices, stakeholder analysis …
  • Reports or notes will be issued from time to time based on the working documents.
  • The information received will be graded as follows and this is our innovative approach to ensuring the integrity of information and our way of fighting against disinformation:
Grade 1: The information is demonstrably based on verifiable sources using verified or verifiable direct information and complies with UN best practices on the appropriate issue.
Grade 2: The information is demonstrably based on verifiable sources using prima facia information and methodologies compatible with the UN best practice recommendations.
Grade 3: Any third-party material or information that conforms to the principles upheld directly by the Safe Environment for SAZ-SE
Grade 4: Any third-party material or information that conforms to the principles upheld indirectly by the Safe Environment for SAZ-SE (i.e. the intention of the source document is deemed by the Safe Environment to SAZ-SE to be good but ignorant of some interconnected facts).
Grade 5: Any third-party material or information that does not conform to the principles upheld by the Safe Environment for SAZ-SE directly or indirectly (i.e. the intention of the source document is deemed deviant by the Safe Environment to SAZ-SE but ignorant on some interconnected facts). These will be regarded as facsimiles of disinformation in the opinion of the Safe Environment for SAZ-SE.

The Safe Environment takes no responsibility for any implications of its grading and is always ready to revise the grades given the best available evidence at the time without succumbing to any undue pressure.
