Jordan Faces Climate Crisis Risks
A report by the Union for the Mediterranean reveals that the Mediterranean region, to which Jordan belongs, is warming at a rate approximately 20% faster than the global average, with temperatures exceeding 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. More than 510 million people in the region are experiencing extreme heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, and floods, with an expected permanent displacement of up to 20 million people by the end of the century. Furthermore, water demand is projected to double by 2050. Jordan faces a severe water crisis, with less than 84 cubic meters of water per person annually in 2025, expected to drop to 35 cubic meters by 2040, amid rising temperatures and a 20% decrease in rainfall.
