These rights can only be realized if the most basic human rights are first protected, and climate change now threatens them directly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">The right to life is at risk when floods sweep people away and heatwaves raise mortality. The rights to water, food, health and adequate housing are at risk when resources shrink and infrastructure fails.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">These impacts do not fall equally. Women, persons with disabilities, children and youth, older people, refugees and low-income households are the most exposed and the least able to adapt.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Jordan is party to several international climate agreements, including the Paris Agreement, and adopted the National Climate Change Policy (2022\u20132050). ACHRS calls for these commitments to be implemented through a human rights-based approach.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">According to UNICEF, Jordan is one of the most water-stressed countries in the world, and the situation is likely to worsen without significant intervention. Only around 100 cubic metres of renewable water are available per person each year, far below the 500 m\u00b3 threshold of &#8220;absolute water scarcity&#8221;.<a href=\"applewebdata:\/\/53DE90D3-B66E-4B51-AEC0-BE496ADD9423#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a> The same report notes that renewable supply covers only about two-thirds of demand, and water stress has risen from 80% to 100% over the last two decades. On the current trajectory, stress levels could rise by 1\u20131.5% a year until 2100, leaving more than 90% of low-income households critically water-vulnerable. <a href=\"applewebdata:\/\/53DE90D3-B66E-4B51-AEC0-BE496ADD9423#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\"><sup>[3]<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Primary agriculture is a modest share of the economy, but the wider agriculture and food sector accounts for an estimated 20\u201325% of GDP.<a href=\"applewebdata:\/\/53DE90D3-B66E-4B51-AEC0-BE496ADD9423#_ftn4\" name=\"_ftnref4\"><sup>[4]<\/sup><\/a> A World Bank study estimates that climate-driven cuts in water supply and crop yields could reduce Jordan&#8217;s GDP by up to 6.8%.<a href=\"applewebdata:\/\/53DE90D3-B66E-4B51-AEC0-BE496ADD9423#_ftn5\" name=\"_ftnref5\"><sup>[5]<\/sup><\/a> Farmers are already struggling with declining yields and unpredictable rainfall.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Heatwaves are becoming more frequent in Jordan. A 2024 study found that exposure to heat increases mortality risk in Jordan, and that this risk is higher in districts with little green space and high urbanisation.<a href=\"applewebdata:\/\/53DE90D3-B66E-4B51-AEC0-BE496ADD9423#_ftn6\" name=\"_ftnref6\"><sup>[6]<\/sup><\/a> Older people, young children and outdoor workers are the most exposed, and heat also drives up water demand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;\">Jordan is among the top three recipients of refugees in the MENA Region.
