The discussions were part of a Ministry of Environment
follow-up plan to ensure Jordan meets it Nationally Determined Contributions
(NCDs) set out in the Paris Agreement. The meeting focused on coordination and
areas of mitigation and adaption, according to the Jordan News Agency, Petra.
In a statement released by the ministry, the Minister of
Environment Nabil Masarweh highlighted the need to take the workshop’s
suggestions and turn them into actions, adding that the ministry will adopt the
meeting’s outcomes once they are issued.
Under the NCDs, a set of goals has been set for the
transition to a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy by increasing the
amount of renewable energy generated in Jordan. The Paris Agreement was signed
by 196 parties in December of 2015, and it aims to keep global warming under
the 2°C threshold many scientists say would be the tipping point for life on
Earth, according to the UN’s website.
The workshop was organized by the
Ministry of Environment with support from the German Agency for International Cooperation and the Nationally-Determined
Contributions Partnership, according to Petra.
