Gigatonne Challenge,
Jordan Country Coach
Amman, Jordan
I work alongside institutions and community groups to heighten awareness of the global climate crisis and elicit policy responses. My recent engagements have included developing a climate change by-law, preparing a climate change action plan, and evaluating climate change public policy for the Government of Jordan.
As a coach for the Gigatonne (GT) Challenge since December 2020, I provide guidance to support the activities of 7 participating teams in Jordan to help them meet the goals set up by the GT Challenge, including quantitative greenhouse gas emission reduction targets and equity goals.
At this B Corp Global Climate Summit, I can address the key role of coaches, the methodology, teams' motivation, the challenges of team work, and the opportunities.
