Raising Sustainable Employment through Green Job Opportunities in Jordan
I.Introduction
In recent years, Jordan has faced increasing environmental challenges
exacerbated by its arid climate and limited water resources. Amidst these
challenges, the pursuit of sustainable development through integrating green
jobs has emerged as a critical strategy, not only to stimulate economic growth
but also to enhance climate resilience. Green jobs, characterized by their
ability to improve environmental quality, promise not only sustainable employment
but also play a pivotal role in core adaptation strategies for mitigating
climate change effects. This paper explores the integration of green jobs into
Jordan's climate-resilience strategies, highlighting their capacity to drive
sustainable development in three specific regions: Salt, Madaba, and Balqa.
