Pathways for Climate Investment in Iraq – Technical Investment Report
Iraq's Climate Investment Plan (CIP) drives economic diversification, sustainable agriculture, and energy efficiency for a resilient, low-carbon future.
Enlil Center's founder is an energy engineer, and energy runs through our work: Iraq's power paradox of abundant fuel and chronic outages, gas flaring and the capture projects meant to end it, the country's exposure to oil-market shocks and Gulf shipping risks, and the realistic path for solar and other renewables. We have delivered renewable-energy assessments for GIZ-supported programmes and Article 6 carbon-market training for Iraqi ministries.
This page collects our energy reports, articles and datasets, including access to electricity, renewable output and consumption shares, energy use per person and carbon dioxide emissions.
