Abstract

In this study, we described environmentalism as a category aimed at protecting the natural environment and promoting sustainable lifestyle practices, and intention to aim to protect themselves from harmful activities. Environmentalism in Iraq has faced criticism, from those inside and outside the country. This paper aims to explore the history of the environmental sector in Iraq, the criticisms it has faced, and the challenges facing the environmental sector in the country Like many other countries, Iraq faces challenges with many environmental issues such as desertification, water scarcity and air pollution. Surveying relevant literature, the paper argues that political, social and economic factors constrain the environment in Iraq, and that environmental concerns need to be raised awareness and action about a great deal, as well as the criticisms it faces A detailed overview of the criticisms made and provided The study concludes that while there are legitimate criticisms of the environment in Iraq, the movement is an important factor in governance in addressing environmental challenges.
