Jordan - Second National Communication - 8 December 2009

Key Vulnerabilities

• Agriculture
• Water Resources
• Health

Potential Adaptation Measures

Agriculture

• Main adaptation measures at farm level included conservation agriculture, improvement of water use efficiency, implementation of water harvesting techniques, supplemental irrigation with treated wastewater and community-based management of rangeland resources.
• Policy and legislation options, capacity building for mitigation and adaptation assessment and monitoring of vulnerability, early warning and risk management systems, knowledge management and technology transfer, and rehabilitation of livestock systems and rural livelihoods.

Water Resources

• Water conservation
• Finding additional water sources (desalination and wastewater reuse)
• Water demand management

Health

• Strengthening surveillance and establishment of highly sensitive alert system by the development of health forecast system for climate sensitive diseases.
• Prevention and control of emerging and re-emerging vector- borne diseases.
• Strengthening the existing emergency preparedness and disaster management
• Improving data collection on diseases related to climate change and establishing database for the collected data.

Potential Adaptation Measures

Agriculture and Food Security

• Educational & outreach activities to change management practices to those suited to climate change
• Switch to different cultivars
• Improve pest and disease forecast and control

Water Resources

• Increase water supply, e.g. by using groundwater, building reservoirs, improving or stabilizing watershed management, desalination
