Parliamentary agricultural and water committees have warned of the escalating impacts of climate change on Iraq, emphasizing that a large portion of the country's geography is now threatened by drought waves amid the absence of a comprehensive national strategy. Reports indicate that declining water resources, coupled with the policies of neighboring countries, have become growing concerns, leading to reduced water inflows. The effects of the drought have extended to the agricultural sector and the local economy, causing a decline in the cultivation of strategic crops and increasing living pressures. Concerned authorities have called for an urgent national plan to efficiently manage water resources and protect food security, particularly in highly affected areas such as the marshes.
