Planet Earth is currently undergoing significant transformations due to the phenomenon of global warming resulting from economic activities and excessive use of fossil fuels that emit greenhouse gases, leading to environmental challenges such as droughts and water scarcity in some regions, while causing floods in others. Climate change impacts, including reduced rainfall, water scarcity, rising temperatures, and a significant increase in desertification, have had a profound effect on agriculture in Iraq in recent years. The cultivation area for crops, particularly wheat, decreased by 50% in
2022 compared to 2021, resulting in a significant drop in crop deliveries to the Ministry of Agriculture, from 4.2 million tons in 2021 to 2.5 million tons in 2022, and 6.2 million tons in 2020.
This paper proposes a range of solutions, alternatives, and recommendations related to legal legislation or practical measures by relevant authorities in the fields of environment, climate, and agriculture. These measures aim to develop appropriate strategies and plans to overcome the impacts of climate change and reduce its adverse effects, including food
scarcity and threats to water security in Iraq
