On the occasion of Iraqi Environmental Day, which falls on January 15, 2025, and in compliance with the directives of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, the College of Dentistry at Karbala University organized an event to raise environmental awareness among students that included lectures and daily tests in the college gardens instead of classrooms.
This event aims to educate and remind college students of the importance of afforestation, preserving the environment, reducing damage and pollution caused by factories and devices, and the necessity of collective efforts to protect natural resources and mitigate the impact of pollution on public health.
It is worth noting that the most dangerous future threat we face is climate change and its economic impacts and severe environmental damage across Iraq. According to the United Nations Environment Program, Iraq is the fifth most vulnerable country in terms of adapting to climate changes, and addressing climate change should be a national priority in Iraq.
