    The statement added, "The conferees recommended the following: 
    The conference adopts the important contents of the speech of the Prime Minister to serve as a platform for climate and environmental action for Iraq.
    The climate is no longer just an environmental issue, but has become an essential development and security issue for the current generation and future generations.
    - The Iraqi government has reflected its commitment to take all necessary measures to ensure that the concepts of climate change are generalized in all major sectors and policies and ways to implement them.
    Call on the House of Representatives to allocate a national budget for climate change in 2023 to begin implementing the NDC priorities.
    Work to develop a comprehensive institutional coordination mechanism with clear roles and responsibilities for each ministry and stakeholders with regard to the various aspects of climate change.
