The research concluded that there is a comparative advantage for Iraq in the field of renewable energy, in addition to the effects of the curse of depleted resources represented by Iraq's positioning of the lowest positions in the indicators of international governance; Which represents a challenge to Iraq’s comparative advantage, which increases the costs of renewable energy, and thus renewable energy projects in Iraq become lost projects that represent a waste of economic and financial resources resulting from the depleted resource, which is oil, and the continuation of these indicators (governance) in this way will create what is known as the resource curse. renewable energy in Iraq.
