Jordan is confronting a severe water scarcity because of its reliance on a highly fluctuating annual precipitation. The impact of climate change on freshwater resources is of primary concern as it may elevate water shortage problem. Therefore, climate change has to be adequately addressed in order to attain proper management and sustainable use of...

This study investigates the possible impacts of selected economic factors on carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions intensity in Jordan. The energy industry is one of the main sectors that have an impact on greenhouse gas emissions in Jordan, with a total share of 73% of emissions emanating from only this sector according to the 2006 emissions inventory. I...

This study examined energy poverty in Jordan. A modified multidimensional energy poverty index (MEPI) was used to measure the scope and change in energy poverty based on two demographic and health surveys for 2009 and 2018. The MEPI is calculated at the national, regional, urban/rural, and wealth index levels. The results show that energy poverty i...

Energy poverty constitutes a multifaceted challenge encountered by households worldwide. Given its intricate nature, the imperative to measure it entails the adoption of composite or multidimensional indices encompassing diverse indicators. Despite the comprehensive body of literature at the European level, most studies focus on assessing energy po...

Fuel poverty is a pressing global issue for households, particularly low-income ones. This study employs a subjective approach to examine fuel poverty in Jordan. Analyzing data from a survey of 490 participants in Zarqa Governorate, it evaluates the main determinants of subjective fuel poverty. The survey was conducted over 1 month, from March 10 t...

Sustainable development advocates for an energy transition as it is central to economic growth. Jordan is actively pursuing an energy transition agenda in line with its obligations under the Paris Agreement. This paper investigates households’ intentions to adopt solar energy systems, a vital element of the sustainability transition process, using...

Jordan faces significant challenges related to energy security due to its limited natural resources and reliance on energy imports, which meet over 90% of its energy needs. The adoption of renewable energy (RE) technologies is viewed as a crucial step in reducing dependence on fossil fuels, enhancing energy security, and addressing environmental co...

Purpose: This study explores the relationship between energy use and human development, specifically focusing on Jordan's household sector. The purpose is to understand the implications for achieving the UN's Sustainable Development Goal 7 (Affordable and clean energy). Need for the study: Given the global challenge of achieving Sustainable Develo...

In recent years, the transition towards a more sustainable energy system has become the center of the global community focus. This paper examines the current energy situation in Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén county in Northern Hungary. The Gini index is calculated on residential gas and electricity consumption for the sixteen districts in the county. Furthe...

Energy poverty is one of the issues that modern societies face. The available literature in Europe on energy/fuel poverty is extensive, and several European countries have directives that identify, measure, and policies to alleviate energy poverty. This study aims to identify energy/fuel poverty in Jordan, what is the relationship between energy an...

This paper examines the roots of the European energy crisis within the period of 2021–2022, the reasons for the European gas shortage, the effect of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the potential EU responses. The current crisis is a result of several factors, starting from the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 and amplified severely by the current con...

The number of heat-stress days in Jordan is typically high every year. Keeping the household adequately cool during hot summer days can be a challenge for those with economic and social difficulties. The presentation offers more details related to data collected from Jordan on the characteristics of summer energy poverty and climate change in the Z...

Jordan has the potential to lead the efforts toward the expansion of renewable energy projects in the Middle East. Expansion in renewable energy projects means creating green jobs in the energy sector. This paper aims to examine the causal relationships among renewable energy consumption, total unemployment rates, general government final consumpti...

Flood is a natural disaster and causes loss of life and property destruction. The objective of this study was to analyze flood inundation area mapping at Wadi Attarat Um Al Ghurdan Oil Shale mining concession area, The flooded areas along the main Wadi of Al-Ghadaf catchment area have been mapped based on the flow rates for different return periods...

Water availability has become a significant concern throughout the world in recent years. Climate change impacts on water resources are explicit with its effects on water quality and quantity. Climate change has altered the hydrological cycle. Climate change scenarios are plausible future climate that has been constructed for explicit use in inves...

Radiation and advection frost are common in Jordan as well as other neighboring countries as they face sev-eral frost waves each year during the late months of winter. Recently, many frost episodes hit the Jordan Val-ley and damaged the crops that were compensated by millions of dollars by the Jordanian Government. This manu-script addresses and ch...

Problem statement: Jordan is experiencing harsh water shortage in different parts of the country due to high fluctuations in annual precipitation; the only source of water. In addition, heat waves are becoming more frequent in the region. Precipitation decrement and summer heat waves are being blamed on global warming. This study aimed to detect tr...
