Jordan’s path to a climate resilient future

Jordan faces escalating climate change challenges that exacerbate drought risks while simultaneously heightening the country’s vulnerability to flash floods and heatwaves. In response, Jordan has taken important steps to address climate change adaptation (CCA) and disaster risk reduction (DRR). This policy brief presents key findings from Mercy Corps’ in-depth assessment of Jordan’s CCA and DRR policies, providing five recommendations to enhance climate resilience and disaster preparedness. These findings can inform policy and programmatic decisions by the government of Jordan, United Nations agencies, donors, and international non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
