Legal Guide Launch - Press Conference in sulaimani 

12/21/2015

0 Comments

 
On December 21st,2015, Nature Iraq held a press conference at Ramada hotel in Sulaimani, launching the first environmental legislation guide in Iraq under the auspices of Dr.Haval Abu-Bakir, the head of Sulaimani Provincial Council. The guide seeks to present an accurate picture of environmental laws and regulations currently in place in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) and Iraq as a whole. It addresses a knowledge gap observed within local communities and Civil Society Organizations (CSOs). The content of the Official Gazette is indeed not easily accessible to the public, local businesses or local groups and is not written in a language widely accessible to members of the civil society. This often results in insufficient or inexistent compliance with environmental laws for land, air, and water. In this sense, the guide will make the environmental laws and regulations more accessible and understandable to local CSOs, businesses and the general public.
During the conference, copies of the guide were distributed to the attendees. Amongst those, 38 representatives of governmental bodies, as well as important media outlets (i.e. KNN, Gali Kurdistan , Kurdsat and Xendan ), were present. Outreach activities will follow to promote the guide and its use. Nature Iraq is hoping that this will pave the way to more achievements with regards to environmental laws advocacy.
