Perhaps for someone who may be familiar with Iraq, mainly because of its past conflicts or the current headlines that we see, How would you explain to us how you view climate change unfolding in the country?

I think Iraq is one of the countries that is most exposed to climate change.
4:21
And this is not new for Iraq.
4:23
It's really been experiencing these stressors for a long time.
4:26
And perhaps that's something that most people might not consider when it comes to the impact of climate change.
4:33
It doesn't hit everywhere at exactly the same time and exactly the same way.
4:38
So Iraq has been grappling with this for a long time with more droughts, more heat, but on the other hand, also more extreme floods in the wintertime.
