Plant 40,000 Trees In iraq

The climate crisis is one of the most urgent challenges of our generation. Climate change and environmental crises can multiply the risks of existing and new conflicts. In order to address this, it is essential to recognize the links between conflict and climate change and develop pathways for conflict transformation. In numerous domains wherein the BAORD Foundation operates, climate change has been determined as a contributing factor in exacerbating divisions, perpetuating marginalization, and rendering conflict resolution increasingly arduous. This has been particularly evident in Iraq, where scarce resources such as water and arable land, coupled with weak governance systems, worsen the effects of climate change. In our efforts to support communities in transforming and preventing violent conflicts in which climate change plays a dominate role, it is key to focus on improving the social capital of affected communities. This entails investing in fostering relationships among individuals and networks based on reciprocity and trust. through this, communities can be effectively assisted to address the challenges posed by climate change.

Our organization has implemented several tree planting initiatives, planting more than 1,000 trees, raising awareness among more than 1,500 young people about the harms of climate change and urging the community on how to prevent it.
