The Minister of Environment, Muawieh Radaideh, on Monday met with Egypt’s COP27 Regional Ambassador for the Middle East and Africa, Janet Rogan, and UK Ambassador to Jordan, Bridget Brind.
The meeting discussed latest arrangements of the 27th Conference of the Parties of the UNFCCC (COP27) which will be held in Egypt’s Sharm El-Sheikh in November.
Radaideh highlighted achievements and climate-responsive preparations in the Kingdom and the extent of ambition within the Nationally Determined Contributions document.
He voiced Jordan’s readiness to move forward with climate action and facing climate challenges and their impacts, with a focus on nature-based solutions, attention to afforestation and increasing green spaces, in addition to nature-based solutions for the purposes of rehabilitating Jordan to adapt and raise the sectors’ resilience to deal with climate change.
Rogan, in turn, commended Jordan’s role and the progress made in this regard, as well as plans and measures taken despite the burdens and responsibilities that the Kingdom bears in the region, whether political, security or economic, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic and the waves of forced displacement.
