The urgent environmental and climate crisis demands a shift in research focus toward an analytical study on environmental mobilization in Iraq. This study specifically explores the activities of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and individuals working on the environment. Our methodology encompasses a comprehensive survey approach, examining both the legal and institutional frameworks and the challenges associated with national environmental action. The aim is to shed light on a new and expanding landscape of active entities, including NGOs and activists, that employ diverse strategies and tactics in their environmental advocacy. These entities come from varied backgrounds and employ increasingly sophisticated methods, depending on the public response to the environmental crisis.
