It aims to integrate environment into development and poverty reduction priorities. The CEA will be a vital instrument for designing Jordans future policies, by integrating the economic policy tools in our decision making processes. As the latest economic crises and its implications have shown, an economic model that is based on consumption alone cannot be sustained; accordingly many countries identified the need to green their economics as the base for sustainable growth and development. Jordans green economic initiative will enhance social integration, economic growth an environmental sustainability within one focused, measured and stable economic plan. Jordan is a small country that is rich in human capital; the green journey will be a twenty years program to retrofit our infrastructure, to become energy, water and resource efficient. The recommendations identified in this document will be the main drivers for the environmental policies in the country. The issue of adequate incentives for better quantity management clearly remains important, but is not addressed in this report. After the national agenda was established, it appears that the reduction of water related subsidies and the creation of incentives for allocating water to higher value added uses are being recognized as necessities that public policies will address in the future.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABATEMENTABATEMENT COSTSABATEMENT STRATEGIESACCEPTABLE QUALITYACCESS TO DATAACCESS TO INFORMATIONAIRAIR EMISSIONAIR EMISSIONSAIR POLLUTANTSAIR POLLUTIONAIR QUALITYAIR QUALITY STANDARDSAIR TRANSPORTAIR WATERANNUAL PRECIPITATIONAQUIFERSARABLE LANDAUDITSAVAILABLE WATERAVAILABLE WATER RESOURCESAVERAGE ANNUAL PRECIPITATIONBASINSBENEFIT ANALYSISBODBUSCAPACITY BUILDINGCARCAR SALESCARSCERTIFICATIONCLEANER FUELSCLIMATE CHANGECONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORKCONGESTIONCONGESTION REDUCTIONCONGESTION REDUCTION BENEFITSCONSERVATION OF NATURECONSTRUCTIONCONTINGENT VALUATIONCOST BENEFIT ANALYSISCOST SAVINGSCOST-BENEFIT ANALYSISDECISION MAKINGDIESELDRINKING WATERDRINKING WATER SUPPLYDRIVINGECONOMIC GROWTHEFFLUENTSEMISSIONEMISSION FACTORSEMISSION REDUCTIONEMISSION STANDARDSEMISSIONSEMISSIONS FROM AIRCRAFTEMISSIONS FROM ROADEMISSIONS FROM ROAD TRANSPORTEMPIRICAL EVIDENCEENERGY CONSUMPTIONENERGY EFFICIENCYENFORCEMENT OF STANDARDSENVIRONMENTALENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENTSENVIRONMENTAL DEGRADATIONENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENTENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSENVIRONMENTAL IMPROVEMENTENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATIONENVIRONMENTAL ISSUESENVIRONMENTAL LAWENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENTENVIRONMENTAL MONITORINGENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCEENVIRONMENTAL POLICYENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACTIVITIESENVIRONMENTAL QUALITYEXPLOITATIONEXTERNAL COSTSFARESFINANCIAL RESOURCESFREIGHTFREIGHT TRANSPORTFUELFUEL CONSUMPTIONFUEL OILFUEL QUALITYFUEL TAXATIONFUEL USEFUELSGASGASOLINEGROUNDWATERGROUNDWATER ABSTRACTIONGROUNDWATER MANAGEMENTGROUNDWATER MININGGROUNDWATER RESOURCESGROUNDWATER USEHAZARDOUS WASTESHEAVY DUTY VEHICLESHEAVY METALSINDUSTRIAL EFFLUENTSINDUSTRIAL EMISSIONSINDUSTRIAL SECTORINDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER TREATMENTINSPECTIONIRRIGATION WATERLAND DEGRADATIONLAND TRANSPORTLAND USELARGE URBAN AREASMANAGEMENT OF WATERMARGINAL ABATEMENTMETEOROLOGICAL STATIONSMICRO ENTERPRISESMILEAGEMINESMINISTRY OF TRANSPORTMUNICIPAL WASTEMUNICIPAL WASTEWATERNATURAL RESOURCESNOISEOILOPPORTUNITY COSTSOVERGRAZINGPASSENGERSPASSENGERS PER VEHICLEPOLICY MAKERSPOLLUTANT EMISSIONSPOLLUTERSPOLLUTIONPOLLUTION ABATEMENTPOLLUTION CONTROLPOLLUTION DAMAGEPOLLUTION PREVENTIONPOPULATION GROWTHPOTABLE WATERPOWER GENERATIONPRODUCTION COSTSPRODUCTION PROCESSPRODUCTION PROCESSESPROTECTED AREASPUBLIC EXPENDITURESPUBLIC PARTICIPATIONPUBLIC TRANSPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORT VEHICLESPUBLIC WORKSPUMPINGQUALITY STANDARDSRAILRAILWAYRAILWAYSREDUCING EMISSIONSRENEWABLE GROUNDWATER RESOURCESRESOURCE USERIDERSHIPROADROAD CHARGINGROAD TRAFFICROAD TRANSPORTROAD TRANSPORT EMISSIONSSANITATIONSOLID WASTESOLID WASTE MANAGEMENTSTATIONARY SOURCESSUPPLY OF WATERSURFACE WATERSURFACE WATER RESOURCESSUSPENDED SOLIDSSUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTTAXTOLLTOXIC SUBSTANCESTRADEOFFSTRAFFIC MODELSTRANSITTRANSPORT AIR EMISSIONSTRANSPORT EMISSIONSTRANSPORT INFRASTRUCTURETRANSPORT POLICIESTRANSPORT SECTORTRANSPORT STRATEGYTRANSPORTATIONTRANSPORTATION SYSTEMVEHICLEVEHICLE FLEETVEHICLESVEHICULAR TRAFFICWASTE MANAGEMENTWASTE WATERWASTEWATERWASTEWATER REUSEWASTEWATER TREATMENTWATER AVAILABILITYWATER LAWWATER POLICIESWATER POLICYWATER POLLUTIONWATER QUALITYWATER QUALITY DEGRADATIONWATER QUALITY MANAGEMENTWATER QUALITY MONITORINGWATER QUALITY OBJECTIVESWATER QUALITY PROBLEMSWATER QUANTITYWATER RIGHTSWATER SAVINGSWATER SCARCITYWATER SECTORWATER SHORTAGEWATER STRATEGYWATER SUPPLYWATER TABLEWATER USEWELLSWILLINGNESS TO PAYWTPReportWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-615-43180-2
