Jordan’s national targets address several core components of GBF Target 15, particularly those related to business disclosure of biodiversity impacts, strengthening accountability, and integrating biodiversity considerations into corporate and national planning. The national targets aim to regulate business disclosure of biodiversity-related risks and impacts, mainstream biodiversity into national development planning, and reinforce benefit-sharing systems for genetic resources and digital sequence information (DSI). These measures support the global objective of increasing transparency, reducing negative business impacts, and improving biodiversity-related decision-making.

However, several critical elements of the global target remain insufficiently addressed. The national targets do not specify mandatory disclosure requirements for large and transnational companies, nor do they include standards for assessing dependencies, impacts, and risks in line with GBF Target 15. Jordan has not established national systems for biodiversity-related financial disclosure, impact reporting, or risk mitigation frameworks for businesses. There are no national provisions requiring high-impact sectors to report on biodiversity dependencies or to apply due diligence procedures. These gaps mean that Jordan’s national targets only partially reflect the full scope and ambition of GBF Target 15.
