From climate stress to social strain
Migration, governance and local resilience in Iraq
This research report examines how climate change, migration and social cohesion intersect across four climate-affected governorates in Iraq: Nineveh, Diyala, Kirkuk and Al-Sulaymaniyah. Using a multi-layered methodology that combines desk reviews, secondary quantitative analysis and field-based insights from key informant interviews and focus group discussions, the underlying research captures the lived realities of local communities behind policy debates and provides evidence-based recommendations.
