Summary
The impact of climate change is less noticeable and more localized in KRI than
in central and southern Iraq. No climate-induced displacement, secondary
displacement or failed returns were recorded in KRI this round. Additionally,
the environmental hazards are largely confined to sand or dust storms and
increased temperatures. Sand or dust storms can reduce water quality and
disrupt agricultural activities, while increased temperatures heighten rates of
evapotranspiration and raise demands for water. Moreover, 1 in 10 locations,
mostly in Sulaymaniyah, witnessed drought.
