High scientific interest in Jordan --- This topic gained a large interest in Jordan for few years now. Again the challenge is that the interest comes from the academic and research institutions who are trying hard to involve CSOs and other institutions to be involved so that bottom-up approach can impact the decision making as up-bottom is not working with them. Keen to see this taken into consideration in national strategies for a full picture approach rather than sector by sector. Optimistic of the recent minister of Environment whose background is scientific, feedback from diplomat colleagues working with him are very positive so far.
