As part of efforts to address the effects of climate change in Iraq, UNDP in partnership with the Iraqi Ministry of Health and Environment and in cooperation with the Maysan Governorate, is engaged in SDG Climate Facility project: Climate Action for Human Security project in Al Hwaizeh Marshlands with the support of the Regional Bureau for Arab States (RBAS) and funded by the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA).
This national project aims to support the marshland communities against threats caused by climate change such as recurrent droughts. These dangers are considered a threat multiplier to the local population and a source of escalating poverty rates and cause of migration due to water scarcity and deterioration of the ecological system, which adversely affects livelihoods.
