Green Climate Fund Project Targets One Million Beneficiaries, Boosts Jordan’s Water Supply

AMMAN — Jordan is expected to increase its annual water supply by around 9 million cubic meters, with cumulative gains projected to reach 163 million cubic meters over 25 years, under the Integrated Landscape Management Project. The initiative aims to strengthen water security and climate resilience for around one million people, including nearly 247,000 direct beneficiaries, by restoring 12,000 hectares of watersheds and ecosystems. Implemented by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) in partnership with the Ministry of Environment, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and national partners, the project is financed by the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and focuses on the Yarmouk, King Talal Dam, and Kafrein basins.
