Road to COP30: Jordan
The third in our series of discussions about how regions are preparing for the UN climate conference.
Columbia Global Center Amman invites you to join us for a panel on how Jordan is navigating climate pressures and building resilience under climate volatility. The online conversation will explore the interconnected challenges of climate change — from water and resource security to public health, sustainability, and economic investments — and how they shape both local realities and strategies. With insights from the experts, this event will highlight Jordan’s path as part of the wider global trajectory on adaptation and the road to COP30.
This event is part of a global series, Road to COP30: Local Voices, Global Pathways, hosted by the Columbia Global Centers. Each week, one of the Columbia Global Centers convenes an online event that looks at the big questions shaping local climate conversations and how they connect to global climate negotiations.
