This policy brief and evidence paper have been developed in partnership with Mercy Corps

Jordan is exposed to mounting climate change challenges that heighten the country’s vulnerability to disasters including intense heatwaves and severe flash floods. These challenges could hinder progress toward national development goals and create long-term challenges for Jordan’s water security, agricultural productivity, and economic resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The analysis involved close collaboration with stakeholders across Jordan and reviews existing climate change and disaster risk reduction policies. It identifies gaps and challenges and offers recommendations for improved implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
