绿色气候基金已批准其最大的单一投资——2.95亿美元赠款和贷款——用于约旦60亿美元的Aqaba-Amman盐水淡化项目,该项目旨在每年提供3亿立方米的水,以解决严重缺水问题。 The Green Climate Fund has approved its largest single investment—$295 million in grants and loans—for Jordan’s $6 billion Aqaba-Amman desalination project, which aims to deliver 300 million cubic meters of water annually to combat severe water scarcity. 该项目在预测气候影响(包括到2100年气温上升4°C和降雨量减少21%)中至关重要,预计每升水费将减少10美分,政府将节省10亿美元。 The project, critical amid projected climate impacts including a 4°C temperature rise and 21% rainfall decline by 2100, is expected to cut water costs by 10 cents per liter and save the government $1 billion. 美国的支助包括3亿美元的赠款和10亿美元的贷款,预计还有额外的区域捐款。 U.S. support includes $300 million in grants and $1 billion in loans, with additional regional contributions anticipated. 由于绿色气候基金加快了24个项目的核准工作,可能总共支付14亿美元,因此,这些资金支持在缔约方会议第三十届会议之前实现更广泛的气候适应目标。 The funding supports broader climate adaptation goals ahead of COP30, as the GCF accelerates approvals for 24 projects, potentially totaling $1.4 billion in disbursements.
