Abstract
The research delves into Iraq's escalating sand and dust storms, primarily linked to dwindling vegetation and desertification. Its focus lies in understanding, analyzing, and offering solutions for these environmental occurrences. Notably, it emphasizes the efficacy of programs increasing vegetation and controlling desertification in reducing storm frequency. Utilizing a comparative analysis drawn from diverse data sources, the paper scrutinizes the causes, impacts (ranging from environmental to economic and health effects), and proposes various strategies. These include implementing enhanced monitoring systems, effective land-use management, and promoting public awareness campaigns. Ultimately, the paper stands as a vital resource for policymakers, researchers, and practitioners seeking to grapple with the challenges posed by these storms in Iraq. Its comprehensive insights serve to aid in decision-making and formulation of strategies to mitigate the detrimental effects of sand and dust storms in the region.
