Jordan is among the most dependent countries on the import of energy resources (mainly oil and natural gas) from abroad in the MENA region. Therefore, the import of energy represents a large burden on the state budget. Energy demand associated with rapid population growth is increasing by 3% every year. Booming population also adversely impacts the already strained water resources. Jordan is among the world's most water scarce countries. To address these challenges, Jordan needs to increase investment in renewable energy sources while reducing overall energy and water consumption through measures to increase efficiency. When it comes to electro-mobility, Jordan is considered a pioneer in the region.

Climate change affects almost every country in the world, and the MENA region, which includes the Middle East and North Africa, is no exception. On the contrary, the states in this region are among the driest in the world. More than 60% of their population lives in areas with high or very high surface water scarcity. According to Ferid Belhaj, the World Bank's vice president for the MENA region, by 2050 water scarcity in the region, mainly related to climate change, will be responsible for economic losses equivalent to 6 to 14% of GNP. What does it take to solve the water crisis in the region?
