Jordan joins the UN Water Convention as water scarcity and climate pressures intensify. 

Jordan has acceded to the 1992 United Nations Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes (UN Water Convention), in a move aimed at strengthening cooperation over shared water resources in one of the world’s most water-scarce regions. The accession follows that of Iraq in 2023 and further expands participation from the region in the agreement. Jordan is the 59th Party to the UN Water Convention, joining 18 states from Africa, Asia and Latin America to have joined this treaty in the last 10 years.
