Governance
Iraq charges students and researchers for official data under budget-law fee powers dating from 2016, while its right-to-information bill stalls in Parliament. Enlil Research Unit traces the instruments and sets out five fixes.
Energy
Six months on from Enlil's original 6 April dispatch: Othman Kareem revisits the 2026 Hormuz crisis against what actually happened to Iraq's exports, revenue and budget.
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
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.
