[size=45]Addressing the audience, Executive Director Jaafar said, “Iraq faces the global challenge of the consequences of climate change, but in addition to that, it faces a number of specific local problems, including water scarcity and the problem of pollution in the air, land, and water, which must be followed up and solved.”[/size]
[size=45]He went on to say, “We are very optimistic to see the government of Prime Minister, Muhammad Shiaa Al-Sudani, dealing with the issue of natural gas as a priority, especially with regard to electric power generation, economic growth and development.”[/size]

The participants in the symposium welcomed the UAE’s initiative to host the COP 28 International Action Forum on Climate Change, which will be an important opportunity for Iraq and other regional countries to enhance cooperation and achieve progress in procedures and ways to address climate change.[/size]
[size=45]Participants in the symposium pointed out that most environmental improvement measures can be achieved through partnership between the private and public sectors. The CEO of Al Hilal stressed that it is necessary to address and manage all these challenges, and the focus must be on building institutional capabilities to achieve this. The private sector has a mission in this matter by bringing the best international processors and instilling a culture of health, safety and environmental awareness as well. Then the government must review and revise the laws related to these matters and activate them.[/size]
