Using green infrastructure interventions in urban areas is a key approach in climate change adaptation and is gaining high momentum around the world. With about 80% of population of Jordan living in urban areas such interventions should be innovative and widespread to enhance urban resilience. Some of the key measures
Using green infrastructure interventions in urban areas is a key approach in climate change adaptation and is gaining high momentum around the world. With about 80% of population of Jordan living in urban areas such interventions should be innovative and widespread to enhance urban resilience. Some of the key measures proposed include:. Preserve natural watercourses in urban areas through streaming flow and exploring the potential for creating new water courses. Introduce climate responsive building techniques and elements to reduce the effect of heat and reduce demand on energy for cooling.
