The world’s largest Green Climate Fund has made its largest financial commitment to date to help implement a 6 billion dollar desalination project in Jordan.
As AZERTAC reports, the support for the Green Climate Fund comes ahead of the COP30 event in Brazil in November and a decade after the Paris Agreement, which named the fund as the main way to finance efforts to curb global warming.
“This will transform the country,” the fund’s executive director, Mafalda Duarte, told Reuters, adding that the investment in Jordan’s Aqaba-Amman desalination and water transport project, also known as the Jordan National Water Carrier, was the fund’s “largest investment in a single project.”
One of the world’s largest desalination projects will serve nearly half the population of Jordan, which has the world’s most water-scarce country.
