This report has been produced for the purpose of supporting the UN Environment Programme’s (UNEP)
contribution to the delivery of climate change adaptation in the Asian region through the Green Climate
Fund funded National Adaptation Plan (NAP)for Iraq project. The Walker Institute is working with UNEP,
NAP partners and local officials to determine relevant gaps in relation to climate knowledge in Iraqi
institutions and determine how to build capacity to address climate change.
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. These storylines provide Iraq decision-makers with impact analyses
and data to incorporate in their decision-making processes and support adaptation planning. This work will
equip Iraq in identifying and planning for technical support activities and multi-sectoral cooperation to
formulate and implement the NAP process
