Environmental governance in Iraq

Abstract

Abstract: Environmental governance in Iraq refers to decision-making processes concerning the management of the environment and natural resources, focusing on principles such as inclusiveness, accountability, and efficiency. Both governments and non-governmental entities, such as environmental groups and civil society, play significant roles in influencing environmental policy decisions. Global environmental governance has evolved to activate national policies to address environmental impacts caused by economic development, ensuring environmental sustainability. The research also discusses the challenges of the environment in Iraq due to climate change and aims to explore the current state of environmental governance while providing suggestions for improving environmental conditions.
