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.

- Invite the Parliamentary Health and Environment Committee as a major change maker in all events in which Iraq participates in generalizing climate change in legislative, planning and financing activities and events.
The conference calls on all signatory members of international environmental agreements to enhance international cooperation in the joint management of transboundary river basins and to preserve the rights of the riparian countries.

- Forming a secretariat consisting of the relevant authorities to follow up and implement the decisions of the conference and submit periodic work progress reports to the Prime Minister.
