The roundtable was held under the patronage of
Environment Minister
Muawieh Radaideh, who said that Jordan is committed to a
31-percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and stressed the importance of
the ministry’s efforts to develop adaptation approaches in climate change.
Under the updated National Determined Contribution,
Jordan will finance 5 percent of the reductions and the rest will “be achieved
through international support”, the statement said.
Radaideh said that collaboration between the
government, private sector, NGOs, and academia are an essential aspect of
defeating climate change. Through such partnerships, the challenges of climate
change can be turned into opportunities to produce and store clean energy,
develop water recycling, and reduce non-revenue water, among others.
For his part, GGGI Country Representative Dereje
Shenshaw stressed his organization’s interest and willingness to defeat climate
change with the Environment Ministry and other public and private-sector
partners by supporting ongoing and upcoming projects in Jordan.
