Baghdad Sustainable Forests

This groundbreaking environmental initiative, organised through Ertkaz Company, addresses climate change and environmental degradation while providing opportunities for youth engagement and education. The project combines ecological activism with community organising, creating spaces for young Iraqis to participate in meaningful environmental action while building skills in project management and civic engagement.

The initiative’s success demonstrates Omar’s understanding that effective activism must address multiple interconnected challenges facing Iraqi society. By combining environmental concerns with youth empowerment, the project creates sustainable models for community engagement that can be replicated across Iraq.
