Climate Change in Jordan: Challenges and Mitigation Strategies
Abstract
Introduction
The present study focuses on Jordan, which is a small, arid country in the Middle East that is vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The country experiences hot and dry conditions for much of the year and is prone to drought and water shortages. In recent years, Jordan has experienced an increase in temperature and a decrease in annual rainfall, leading to more frequent and severe droughts. One of the main impacts of climate change in Jordan is on its water resources. Rising temperatures increase water demand, while declining rainfall reduces water availability. This can lead to water scarcity and a decline in agricultural productivity.
Methods
To mitigate the impacts of climate change in Jordan, this study focuses on the implementation of measures to conserve and manage water resources more efficiently.
Results
The proposed measures could include investing in water-saving technologies, such as drip irrigation systems, and promoting the use of drought-resistant crops.
Conclusion:
The study serves as a foundation for further investigation. It highlights the importance of promoting the use of renewable energy sources, such as solar power, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow the rate of climate change. It also summarizes the potential measures that could be taken to mitigate the impacts of climate change in Jordan.
