  • Iraq’s rapid desertification of its arable land poses an existential threat to its population and environment. It manifests many other environmental problems and adds to an already deteriorating situation. This research addresses the causes of desertification in Iraq and assesses the green belt project, focusing on its challenges. It also derives lessons from other countries with similar experiences and suggests solutions from a security standpoint

  • The destruction of the Kakhovka Dam on 6 June 2023 resulted in the loss of 19 billion cubic metres of freshwater, exacerbating drought conditions and increasing water stress in the affected region. This disaster triggered an immediate 2°C rise in local temperatures, accelerating desertification and limiting vegetation recovery. The environmental impact highlights the vulnerability of ecosystems to human-induced disruptions and underscores the urgent need for sustainable adaptation strategies

  • The destruction of the Kakhovka dam released pollutants up to 50 times above permissible levels across 6,800 km², severely impacting the Dnipro-Buh estuary and the Black Sea. This disaster caused a deterioration in water quality, leading to eutrophication and excessive algal growth. The aquatic ecosystem is now disrupted, threatening biodiversity and hindering natural water regeneration.
