The UK\u2019s COP26 Regional Ambassador for the MENA region, Janet Rogan, visited Amman on 22-26 May to discuss Jordan\u2019s follow-up to COP26 and plans for COP27 that is slated to take place in Egypt in November 2022.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ambassador Rogan attended the Global Land Conference at the Dead Sea to discuss the importance of adaptation to climate-smart agriculture and building resilience which will be core themes at COP27.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Rogan discussed the implementation of the Nationally Determined Contribution, a climate action plan; the progress of the National Adaptation Plan and Jordan\u2019s preparations ahead of the Convention for Biological Diversity (CBD) COP15 in Kunming and UNFCCC COP 27 in Sharm el-Sheikh.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She Rogan met the Minister of Environment Muaweih Radadeih, Minister of Planning and International Cooperation Shraideh and senior officials at the Royal Hashemite Court.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She also met with youth climate ambassadors and visited the site of a planned waste-water plant in Irbid, speaking with stakeholders to understand the importance of the project.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In her meetings with stakeholders and officials in Irbid, Ambassador Rogan discussed the need for water adaptation at the local level and the role of the community in promoting water efficiency.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In a roundtable discussion with students and early career researchers, Rogan urged students and researchers to bring innovations to climate adaptation solutions.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Ambassador Rogan said in a statement: “Twenty-two was significant because the world moved from a discussion of the details of the Paris Agreement into implementation.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jordan submitted a strengthened Nationally Determined Contribution and is now moving to implement the National Adaptation Plan.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Managing greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture and other industrial and economic activities requires a collaborative effort between government, private sector and consumers…”<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She added that the UK is “committed” to supporting Jordan to adapt to the climate impacts. “Our regional programme in partnership with EBRD [European Bank for Reconstruction and Development] is supporting people in West Irbid through the provision of climate-adapted wastewater facilities in West Irbid. We will continue to look at ways to support climate adaptation action in Jordan,” Rogan emphasised.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
