OVERALL ABSTRACT Climate change is the greatest global health threat of this century, yet health is not central to research in low and middle income countries that are going to be impacted the most. Adaptation to this threat will create climate- resilient communities and prepare them for climate change extreme events and the long-term impacts. Among the regions across the globe, the Middle East is going to be the epicenter of this impact given a multitude of factors exacerbating the climate change health impacts such as being the most water scarce-region, the region with the highest records of extreme heat, extreme disparity between very poor and very affluent communities, as well as political instability in many of the countries of the region. In that region, Jordan is ranked second in the list of countries with lowest water access and is expected to reach water insecurity by 2030. Within that country, the most water deprived communities live in the Northeast region of Mafraq’s Azraq Basin which is also home to close to 120,000 resettled Syrian refugees that are dependent on the same water resources. Jordan is one of the few politically stable countries in the region, and is aggressively looking for solutions to the water crises in the context of the Water-Food-Energy-Environment nexus and therefore created a high profile governmental committee to develop policies that can address this crises in the short and long-terms. This is why we are proposing the Global Center on Climate Change and Water Energy Food Health Systems (GC3WEFH) to initiate an exploratory phase in Jordan by bringing together scientists with complementary expertise, but diverse perspectives, to address impacts of climate change on water, energy, food, and health systems in the climate-vulnerable communities of the Azraq Basin in Jordan. We will pilot feasible solutions focused on improving health outcomes and in collaboration with the communities that are negatively impacted by climate- related water scarcity. We will involve the communities, local academics, and public officials in capacity building. This network and exploratory phase will become the platform for scale up to other interventions and other countries and regions around the globe. We will demonstrate the utility of engaging vulnerable communities through the systems of Water-Energy-Food-Health. This will be help them explore trade-off decisions to improve adaptation to climate change health impacts, in and this pilot phase, through access to sufficient and good quality water in the Azraq Basin.

总体摘要 气候变化是本世纪最大的全球健康威胁，但健康并不是低收入国家研究的中心， 中等收入国家将受到最大的影响。对这种威胁的适应将创造气候- 加强社区的抗灾能力，使其做好应对气候变化极端事件和长期影响的准备。之间 在整个地球仪的地区，中东将是这一影响的震中，因为许多 加剧气候变化对健康影响的因素，如最缺水的地区，该地区 极端高温的最高记录，非常贫穷和非常富裕的社区之间的极端差距， 以及该地区许多国家的政治不稳定。在该地区，约旦排名第二， 水获取率最低的国家名单，预计到2030年将达到水不安全状态。内 在这个国家，最缺水的社区生活在Mafraq的Azraq盆地的东北地区， 近12万名重新安置的叙利亚难民的家园，他们依赖同样的水资源。乔丹是 它是该地区少数几个政治稳定的国家之一，正在积极寻找解决水资源问题的办法。 在水-粮食-能源-环境关系的背景下， 政府委员会负责制定能够在短期和长期解决这一危机的政策。这就是为什么 全球气候变化和水能源食品健康系统中心（GC 3 WEFH） 在约旦启动探索阶段，将具有互补专长的科学家聚集在一起， 从不同的角度，应对气候变化对水、能源、粮食和卫生系统的影响， 约旦阿兹拉克盆地的气候脆弱社区。我们将试点可行的解决方案， 改善健康成果，并与受气候负面影响的社区合作， 与缺水有关。我们将让社区、当地学者和政府官员参与能力建设。 这一网络和探索阶段将成为扩大到其他干预措施和其他 遍布地球仪的国家和地区。我们将展示让弱势群体参与的效用 通过水-能源-食品-健康系统。这将有助于他们探索权衡决策，以改善 在本试验阶段，通过获得充足和优质的 阿兹拉克盆地的水
