This current publication includes a summary of the findings of those assessment studies. Some of the information has been updated to keep up with the new developments at the national and global levels but the recommendations and conclusion have been maintained and also used in current project activities.
The first assessment about the enhanced Intersectoral Coordination for climate change governance in Jordan includes suggested options for restructuring the national committee on climate change. It also provides ideas on integrating and mainstreaming climate change into national sectoral and developmental planning processes with special emphasis on the Jordan Vision 2025 document.
The second assessment study provides a review of the progress achieved in the implementation of the national climate change policy since 2013 and identifies main priorities for future implementation.
The third assessment study provides an analysis of the training needs assessment of national stakeholders for enhancing capacities in climate change governance. It also identifies main priority issues for capacity development which has been picked up by the GF ICE projects. Study tours in Germany and capacity development events in Jordan have been organized to respond to the needs identified in the study. The three assessment studies are to be considered as an integrated package that shows the short and long term priorities for climate change governance in Jordan based on gap analysis and institutional capacities. GIZ will be striving to respond to those priorities within GF ICE projects and other initiatives and it is hoped that other international partners will utilize this document as a resource for technical support for Jordan in climate change governance. With these policy, technical and institutional developments at the national level supported by Jordan submitting its INDCs report to UNFCCC it is now the best time to invest in supporting climate governance in Jordan.
