SDG-aligned investments imperative for Jordan’s green growth — UNDP official

AMMAN — Investments aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are crucial for the generation of green job opportunities and green enterprise development in Jordan, said Assistant Secretary-General and Director of the Regional Bureau for the Arab States at UNDP Abdallah Al Dardari in an exclusive interview with The Jordan Times on Thursday. 

The last few years of global crises, including the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine and increased climate challenges have lead to a worldwide deceleration in progress towards the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations member states in 2015, Dardari said.

“The world cannot afford a future that’s not green; we are currently in a race against time to accelerate collective action towards achieving the SDGs,” Dardari told The Jordan Times.
