promoting environmental justice and development, sustainable
media, and Human justice concepts in Jordanian society and the
region, with a special emphasis on the role of women and young
people in fueling the global fight against climate change and
trying to speed up progress. The AWRAQ Organization’s training

maximizing the organization’s available resources, enhancing its
human resources, and inspiring its employees to think creatively
and adopt new methods of working in the fields of

relations, health, Environmental, international law, international
relations, and human rights through forging partnerships with
institutions such as the International Center for the Best Available
Resolution in Arbitration, Law, and Studies; The Center for
Strategic and Political Studies– University of Jordan; and the Basel
Convention’s Regional and Coordination Centers.
