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.
