Sustainable development and climate change in Iraq

Abstract

The world is now witnessing clear climate changes that have arisen in the Earth’s surface temperature to 1.5 C°. Therefore, this study aimed to find out the reasons for the rise in the Earth’s temperature Based on four main indicators of climate change – greenhouse gas concentrations, sea level rise, ocean warming, and ocean acidification, the thermal gas concentration was chosen, and the thermal gasses that cause it. This available source https://www.macrotrends.net/countries/IRQ/iraq/ghg-greenhouse-gas-emissions and CO₂ and Greenhouse Gas Emissions - Our World in Data was relied upon to take the recorded concentrations of thermal gasses to investigate their concentration in the world and Iraq. This research showed that the greenhouse gases produced in the world's atmosphere are much higher than in the atmosphere of Iraq, contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and ranks 12, based on the Similar Country Ranking of 12 of CO2 equivalent. In conclusion, this data answers the question of this research and finds that Iraq is influential and affected by climate change.
