Minister of Environment represents King at COP17
Jordan's Minister of Environment, Dr. Ayman Suleiman, participated on behalf of King Abdullah II in the 17th Conference of the Parties to the Biodiversity Convention held in Armenia, with the goal of strengthening efforts to protect biodiversity and preserve ecosystems. Suleiman emphasized the importance of translating international commitments into tangible actions to address environmental challenges such as biodiversity loss, climate change, water scarcity, and land degradation. He also highlighted Jordan's efforts in 2026 to update the national biodiversity strategy, prepare the seventh national report, and design a plan to fund biodiversity through the BIOFIN initiative, focusing on strengthening partnerships, sustainable investments, and reviewing incentives to promote environmental restoration. Jordan’s participation aligns with its broader efforts to enhance regional and international cooperation, protect natural resources, and support global initiatives for ecosystem restoration—especially following the inclusion of the Aqaba Marine Protected Area on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
