High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Adaptation to climate change in Jordan is not a priority issue among national policies. Water resources in Jordan are scarce. Besides the rapid population growth, the impacts of climate change will further exacerbate the problem. Temperatures will increase and the total annual precipitation is likely to decrease, however with a fair share of uncertainty. Hence, existing and new activities with the objective to minimize the gap between water supply and demand contribute to adapt Jordan to tomorrow’s climate. This might be accompanied by activities improving Jordan’s capacity to monitor and project meteorological and hydrological data and assess its own vulnerability to climate change.
