Type of Readiness o Establishing and strengthening national designated authorities or focal points support sought o Strategic frameworks, including the preparation of country programmes o Support for accreditation and accredited direct access entities Adaptation Planning The Republic of Iraq is considered one of the most vulnerable countries in the Arab region to the impacts of climate change. In particular, a higher frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as drought, sand and dust storms are being experienced in recent years. These events are leading to rising environmental degradation throughout the country, threatening Iraq’s progress towards sustainable development. Iraq is committed to reducing its vulnerability to the impacts of climate change. In 2009, Iraq ratified the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Kyoto Protocol as a Non-Annex I country. Since then, Iraq has worked to establish the national entities and units necessary to facilitate the implementation of the provisions of the UNFCCC, such as the Permanent National Committee for Climate Change, which was established in 2011. In September 2017, the GCF approved a two-year Readiness Programme in Iraq. This project, conducted in coordination with UNDP, aims at establishing an enabling environment in Iraq to access future support by the GCF. In particular, this readiness programme will include preparatory activities to: i) establish a National Designated Authority (NDA) in Iraq under the leadership of the GCF Focal Point; ii) strengthen stakeholders’ engagement and effective participation; iii) assist Iraq in developing a gender-responsive country programme including climate change adaptation and mitigation priorities; and iv) map, prioritise and assess the capacity of the prospective national 7. Brief summary of the entities against GCF accreditation standards. request The Iraqi government considers adaptation to be a priority for the country, particularly in addressing the impacts of climate change on poor and vulnerable communities and has made some progress towards managing the impacts of climate change. For example, the Initial National Communication identifies several vulnerable sectors and proposes various adaptation strategies. The Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) provides further details regarding adaptation measures with a focus on issues of food, water and economic security for its citizens. These include water, agriculture and biodiversity adaptation measures However, despite short-term and ad hoc adaptation interventions, Iraq’s ability to initiate a plan for medium- and long-term adaptation to unfolding and emerging climate change impacts is facing significant challenges. These include: i) limited high-level political support; ii) limited institutional capacity to integrate adaptation into policies and plans; iii) insufficient and irregular collection, analysis and dissemination of data and information; iv) inadequate adaptation funding mechanisms; v) limited monitoring and reporting protocols to identify lessons learned; and vi) limited mainstreaming of climate change adaption into policies and strategies. This GCF NAP Readiness project seeks to address these barriers by strengthening institutional, technical and financial capacities to ensure that medium to long-term adaptation needs are integrated into national development planning in Iraq. The project will assist Iraq in identifying and planning for technical support activities and multi-sectoral cooperation to formulate and implement READINESS AND PREPARATORY SUPPORT PROPOSAL TEMPLATE PAGE 5 OF 94 | Ver. 15 June 2017 NAP processes.

  • Iraq's Water Woes
    Iraq’s Water Woes: Present and Future Challenges to Scarcity and Abundance October 2020 Marcus Arcanjo Introduction Sustainable peace in Iraq has long been a challenge. Despite recent successes in local communities––such as the military wins against ISIS––a number of socio-economic, political, and environmental challenges remain. Climate change, environmental degradation, and resource scarcity have been agreed upon by experts to be multipliers of existing threats rather than direct causes of conflict and disruptions to peace. This paper explores the role of water and the vulnerability to environmental issues, including climate change, in Iraq. It studies the history of water insecurity in Iraq and how it can exacerbate existing fragilities and hostilities. The inability to access basic resources combined with a troublesome political environment fuels the potential for conflict as livelihoods are lost and a lack of adaptive capacity causes heightened community tensions. Equally, this paper seeks to explain the paradoxical situation in this country in terms of a lack of water for consumption, hygiene, and agriculture but an abundance of flooding in the Southern regions resulting from climate change–related sea level rise. Lastly, potential pathways forward are discussed. History of Water Challenges Water flow from the Euphrates and Tigris, rivers that supply up to 98 per cent of Iraq’s water, has decreased by 30 percent in the last four decades.1 A 2018 report by the Iraq Energy Institute acknowledges the reductions in water flow coming from dam construction in neighboring countries, increased water use by the oil industry, and the destruction of infrastructure resulting from war.2 Turkey and Syria, upstream neighbours, developed large infrastructure projects such as canals and dams that hinder the flow of water downstream.

Associate Professor, Department of geography, Faculty of Education for Human Sciences, University of Diyala, Diyala, Iraq 3. Associate Professor, Department of physics, Faculty of Sciences, University of Sulaimami, Sulaimami, Iraq (Received: 16 Sep 2019, Accepted: 21 Jan 2020) Abstract In this study, the homogeneity of annual precipitation and temperature in Iraq were examined for the periods 1981-2010 and 1971-2010, respectively in terms of Greenhouse Gases (GHGs) and their link to climate change. Observational data of precipitation and temperature were provided by Iraqi meteorological stations along with information on GHG concentrations from the Emission Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR V4.3.2). The homogeneity characterisations of both precipitation and temperature were undertaken, noting that precipitation was homogeneous over the period of study, whereas, temperature, on the other hand, had breakpoints for the meteorological stations investigated. The Mann-Kendall test was performed to determine the trend and magnitude of changes in climate conditions. The time series for precipitation showed a significant decline trend in six stations. However, temperature had a slight trend throughout the period of study. The annual time series of GHG emissions in Iraq and the link with the country’s climate was also investigated in this study indicating that the time series of N2O and CO2 increased over time, but CH4 decreased over the same period.
