Summary of Jordan's Health and Environment Scorecard

• Overall Score: 69/100
• Sub-scores: Exposure 57/100, Health 77/100, Policy 73/100

Jordan's score reflects moderate performance in health and environment indicators. Key weaknesses include poor air quality (PM2.5 mean 26 μg/m3, above WHO guideline of 5 μg/m3) contributing to deaths from stroke and ischemic heart disease, and limited access to safe drinking water and sanitation. Strengths are evident in health indicators and policy efforts, such as the existence of a national adaptation plan for climate change and regulations on lead paint and chemicals. Areas needing improvement include climate resilience in health care facilities and biodiversity protection, with only 4% of terrestrial and marine areas currently protected.
