Climate risk assessment for Iraq. The Southern Marshes ecoregion and Persian Gulf and Shatt Al-Arab ecoregion

This technical report summarises the results from a set of government-endorsed climate risk assessments in first order and second-order risk domains for the Southern Marshes eco-region and the Persian Gulf and Shatt Al-Arab eco-region. This involved the development of climate projections and indices which were used to construct climate storylines, representing plausibel evolution of the future climate in the eco-regions. These storylines provide Iraq decision-makers with impact analyses and data to incorporate in their decision-making processes and support adaptation planning. This work is aimed at equipping Iraq in identifying and planning for technical support activities and multi-sectoral cooperation to formulate and implement the NAP process.
