Water
Iraq's 2025 drought was worse than Enlil's own 2025-2030 projections — and its 2026 recovery is fragile. An updated look at what happened to Tigris-Euphrates flows, reservoirs and Iraqi agriculture, and what a Turkey-Iraq water deal changes.
Water
Iraq withdraws 120% of its internal renewable freshwater and has fallen below the 1,000 m³ per person scarcity line. Enlil Center sets out the evidence and four policy priorities.
Governance
Iraq generates 31,000 tons of solid waste a day — or nearly four times that, by its own ministry's count — and most of it ends up in open dumps or on fire. Mohammed A. Baban on the governance failures behind the open burning crisis.
Economy
Climate change could slash Iraq's GDP by up to 3.9% by 2030 due to water scarcity, extreme heat, and governance failures.
Climate
Enlil Center analyzes Iraq's carbon market potential — a 2025 UK MOU, the General Company for Carbon Economics, gas flaring reduction, and the governance gap standing between Iraq and credible Article 6 carbon credits.
Climate
Basra’s mangrove revival faces saltwater intrusion and oil pollution. Enlil Research examines the Khor Al-Zubair restoration and what it means for the coast.
Climate
COP29 set a $300bn-by-2035 climate finance goal. A year on, Iraq's climate pledge has grown to 22% by 2035 at COP30 — but oil still supplies 43% of GDP. Enlil traces what changed and what didn't.
