Five Cheers for 2021 | The Daily Star

A lot of chickens came home to roost this year. The Covid-19 pandemic was not some random thunderbolt from out of the blue, but rather a man-made natural disaster, holding up a mirror to so many of our bad habits and dangerous indeed, lethal practices. After all, the coronavirus s transmission from bats to humans was a product of mass urbanisation and destructive encroachment on natural habitats, and its rapid spread was a result of over-industrialisation, frenetic trade, and contemporary travel habits. Likewise, the world s inability to come together to contain the crisis reflects the extent to which governance capacity lags behind hyper-globalisation.

WES to support Jordan in exploring the potential of Natural Water Retention Measures

WES to support Jordan in exploring the potential of Natural Water Retention Measures ATHENS, Monday, December 21, 2020 (WAFA) - The European Union-funded regional Water and Environment Support project (WES) has just started supporting Jordan in exploring the potential of Natural Water Retention Measures (NRWM), today said a WES press release. According to Professor Michael Scoullos, team leader of WES, the project will support Jordan in adopting good practices from other countries and to determine which measures are most appropriate to apply in the country. Water scarcity in Jordan is increasingly getting more severe, with annual per capita shares of renewable freshwater resources being less than 60 m3 per capita. This is partly due to the semi-arid climate of Jordan, compounded with high population growth rates. According to the World Health Organisation, Jordan will enter a state of extreme water poverty by 2025 if no major advancements are made.
