ISIS may have been driven out of Iraq, but the conflict is a recent memory and the country continues to grapple with the scars of war and political instability. As of April 2021, more than 1.2 million people are yet to return home. Almost 1 in 5 Iraqis live below the national poverty line. Dependence on oil has left the country vulnerable to economic shocks. COVID-19 has added another layer of hardship upon many households.

It is in this context that another unfolding crisis is threatening to derail the nation’s recovery and development: climate change.

As well as supporting the government to re-build post-conflict, UNDP is working closely with the government to address the root causes, risks and mitigation measures associated with environmental degradation, climate change, and disasters shocks through capacity building and technical assistance.

Through a UNDP Funding Facility for Stabilization (FFS) programme, hundreds of men and women from Mosul are working on public schemes, earning an income while they help clean up their city.

New York, 14 June 2017 - H.E. Ms. Amina J. Mohammed, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations, during the opening of the session. “A strong rule of law provides framework for a well-functioning government and is catalytic to all the Sustainable Development Goals,” said H.E. Amina J. Mohammed, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations in her opening remarks.

“Rule of Law assistance is a key pillar in the UN’s efforts to prevent conflict and sustain peace. Advancing domestic legal frameworks, strengthening justice and law enforcement institutions in accordance with international standards, and improving access to justice and security services with a special focus on the most vulnerable can go far in preventing the outbreak, escalation, or recurrence of conflict,” she further stated. The high level plenary of the UNDP Annual Rule of Law Meeting outlined priorities on how best to support the rule of law and human rights within the Sustaining Peace agenda, and reflected on strategic priorities for the future of international rule of law assistance. © UNDP / Freya Morales
