    Summary:

    Jordan as the rest of the world will have to bear the consequences of climate change on its water resources. Expected higher temperature will increase the evaporation losses and hence the demand for water by humans and agriculture. This will aggravate the country's water scarcity problems. There is a real need for the implementation of adaptation options to solve this problem. Otherwise, Jordanians will be faced by compromises they have to make concerning the quantity and quality of their drinking water.

    Project Components:

    This joint project includes two strategies to achieve the outcomes identified by the programme stakeholders; The first strategy intended to secure water supply sources in spite of the pressure on these resources due to change in climate through adopting water resource management plan that ensure more water supply to health and food production; while the second one will concentrate on adopting suitable mechanisms for adaptation to climate change in food production and health.

    Expected Outputs:

    * Outcome 1: Sustained access to improved water supply sources despite increased water scarcity induced by climate change

    * Outcome 2: Strengthened adaptive capacity for health protection and food security to climate change under water scarcity conditions
