Environmental justice in Jordan evolves
The study focused on the transformation of the environmental justice agenda in Jordan from mere slogans and awareness activities to tangible legal and economic applications. Judicial litigation has become a primary means of ensuring that institutions and industries comply with environmental standards. The results showed that judicial rulings and legislation have become tools to measure the level of protection for natural resources, as well as to reduce emissions and encroachments on green spaces. The study also confirmed that investments in renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, green building, and waste management play a significant role in creating job opportunities and attracting investments, thereby supporting the link between environmental protection and economic development. The Head of the Upper House of Parliament emphasized that environmental justice pertains to citizens' right to a safe environment, with legislative and supervisory roles to ensure compliance with both international and local standards.
