Jordan National Urban Policy

Jordan's National Urban Policy (2023) recognises climate change as a key threat to the wellbeing and economic function of the country, and aims to promote both adaptation and mitigation measures for these threats in urban environments. It suggests a range of measures from institutional capacity building to more physical interventions in the urban environment. The policy seeks to: improve water conservation; improve geospatial databases for natural assets; develop enhanced standards for air quality; plan land use around public transportation; provide equitable access to green jobs.
