Although Jordan is a small contributor to global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, its emissions have rapidly increased in the last four decades. Transport and energy prove to be the two sectors with the highest GHG contribution. The increase in GHG has also been related to the rapid population growth and urbanisation process. The Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) has been transitioning towards climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies. It has developed a comprehensive Climate Action Plan and climate change measures to reduce exposure to environmental hazards and reduce GHG emissions. These strategies have the objective to achieve a resilient city and promote sustainability in the city. The objective of this project was to provide analytical insights into the Jordan Climate Change Development Report (CCDR), focusing on the urban, transport, and energy sectors.
