Jordan faces challenges in advancing its green economy, including economic pressures, high unemployment, and environmental sustainability needs. Its partnership with the European Union (EU) has led to successful green initiatives, notably in energy, waste management, and water provision, aligned with the European Green Deal and the New Agenda for the Mediterranean. Jordan has committed to reducing emissions by 31% by 2030, in line with strategic frameworks like Vision 2025 and the National Green Growth Action Plan (2021-2025).
The EU’s Green Economy program in Jordan supports the country’s green transition by promoting climate resilience, energy efficiency, and environmental sustainability. It focuses on building a green, inclusive economy by aligning with Jordan’s Green Growth Strategy, targeting sectors such as green energy, water, agriculture, and the circular economy.
This Technical Assistance (TA) project, a key component of the Green Economy Programme, strengthens and complements these efforts by offering targeted support in six critical areas. It will focus on coordinated planning and capacity building within the Ministry of Environment (MoEnv) and the Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MoPIC), alongside engagement with other relevant ministries such as the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources (MEMR) and the Ministry of Water and Irrigation (MWI). By enhancing cooperation across these ministries, promoting inclusive policy dialogue, and fostering public-private partnerships, the project plays a crucial role in advancing Jordan’s green growth initiatives.
