    Ghulam Ishaq Zai, Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Resident Coordinator and Humanitarian Coordinator in Iraq, spoke about the biggest challenges facing this country due to climate change.


    In his article, Ghulam Ishaq Zai wrote: “When I traveled to Baghdad a month ago to take up my assignment in[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]To help coordinate our support to the government and people in need, Mesopotamia was very different from what I saw two decades ago when I worked in[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]For the first time, dust fills the air and is stirred by hot winds, and there are vast areas of arid lands dotted with stubborn palm trees that struggle patiently to withstand the elements of nature.. That Mesopotamia described in history books was not the land of civilizations. And when I asked the Iraqis and others who had spent several years here, I was told that it had not been like this before. It is clear that climate change has negatively affected this country.”






    He added: “In the course of my professional life, I have visited many countries and seen many problems, but the effects of climate change here are enormous, as this beautiful and fertile land, known throughout history for the civilizations that sprout around the Tigris and[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]The two great nations are now standing on the front line of the global climate crisis as the fifth most vulnerable country in the world.”

    And he added, “I would have liked to be more positive in my first speech to the Iraqi public, but it is difficult to hide the reality, and I must say that we have not lost everything. Yet, there is hope to change the course of things and the Iraqis should take the initiative.

    he explained. “The data and science are clear, and while climate change affects many countries, some mitigation measures are starting of its effects on the inside. We must act now and start moving towards a climate-resilient economy, while addressing adaptation and mitigation as equals. We all have a responsibility to protect our common future and work together for the common good, and we can start with concrete steps in our homes, so everyone should make better and more responsible choices about what they eat, how they travel, how they conserve water and electricity, and what they buy.
