National Climate Change Policy of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan 2022-2050

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan has updated its Climate Change Policy (CCP) of 2013-2020 into a document that provides guidance to build a climate-resilient society that aims to be part of the global movement that aspires to reach carbon neutrality by 2050 in alignment with the objectives set under Jordan’s Economic Modernisation Vision1 and the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

The updated CCP 2022-2050 has taken into account the lessons learned from the implementation of the first policy 2013-2020. The CCP 2022-2050 is an overarching document for mainstreaming climate change in all sectoral policies, strategies, and action plans. Hence, it is not prescriptive but only serves to provide strategic orientations for Jordan to build an ambitious low-carbon and climate-resilient society, while also supporting the implementation of UNFCCC provisions. In short, all sectors will be called upon to use the CCP 2022-2050 as the framing document to mainstream climate change in their long-term strategic plans, which in turn will be used to inform updates to the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). For ease of use, all policy orientations are given in tabular form.
