The request seeks US$ 278,946.28 from the Green Climate Fund (GCF) to conduct baseline assessments, gender analyses, and feasibility studies to inform a full funding proposal estimated at US$ 40 million.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"gclifun-006041#summary","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},"key_insights":[{"text":"Jordan is one of the most water-deprived countries globally, with approximately 80% of its territory being arid land and only 7% arable land.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"gclifun-006041#insight-1","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"Climate change projections for Jordan suggest a temperature increase of 1-2°C by 2030-2050, which may lead to diminished aquifers and the conversion of semi-arid lands into arid deserts.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"gclifun-006041#insight-2","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"The influx of refugees from Syria, Yemen, and Iraq has exacerbated ecological pressures and water scarcity while increasing the economic burden on the state.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"gclifun-006041#insight-3","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"The JILMI project targets three specific geographic areas for resilience building: the Jordan Rift Valley, the Zarqa River Basin, and the Gulf of Aqaba.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"gclifun-006041#insight-4","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"The proposed intervention strategy consists of four main components: building a resilient natural resource base, utilizing innovative sustainable energy technologies, strengthening socio-economic adaptive capacity, and mainstreaming ILM best practices into national planning.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"gclifun-006041#insight-5","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"Specific adaptation measures under consideration include the restoration of degraded forests, the revival of the traditional 'Hima' community herding system, and the promotion of low-input water-harvesting techniques.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"gclifun-006041#insight-6","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"The project aims to reduce emissions through reforestation, sustainable rangeland and watershed management, and the deployment of small-scale renewable energy systems such as solar cooking stoves and household biogas units.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"gclifun-006041#insight-7","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"The project intends to reach approximately 150,000 direct beneficiaries and an estimated 1.5 million indirect beneficiaries, representing about 20% of the Jordanian population.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"gclifun-006041#insight-8","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"The total estimated cost for the full project is approximately US$ 40 million, with a proposed implementation period of 8 years.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"gclifun-006041#insight-9","date_modified":"2026-10-23"},{"text":"The project will be implemented by a consortium of six national NGOs led by the IUCN and supported by UN Environment.","ai_generated":true,"unit":"gclifun-006041#insight-10","date_modified":"2026-10-23"}],"climate_tags":["climate change adaptation","climate change mitigation","water scarcity","sustainable energy","reforestation","agroforestry","coastal management","land-use planning","ecosystem-based adaptation","climate finance","Low carbon development"],"geography_discussed":["Amman","Syria","Yemen","Iraq","Kenya"],"frame_perspective":[],"analysis_type":["project proposal","feasibility assessment","funding request"]},{"id":"gclifun-004779","url":"https://climateinsightsdirectory.org/document/gclifun-004779","title":"Building Resilience to Cope with Climate Change in Jordan Using the Water-Agriculture-Energy Nexus Approach","publisher":{"name":"Green Climate Fund","organization":"green-climate-fund"},"document_type":"report","language":"en","date_published":"2018-05-16","source_url":"https://www.greenclimate.fund/sites/default/files/document/20010-building-resilience-cope-climate-change-jordan-using-water-agriculture-energy-nexus-approach.pdf","generator":"Climate Insights Directory","generated_fields":["summary","key_insights","climate_tags","geography_discussed","analysis_type"],"summary":{"text":"The project aims to enhance Jordan's resilience to climate change through a systemic 'water-agriculture-energy-climate change nexus' approach.
