Abstract/Description
This methodological brief presents an integrated framework for mapping watershed and climate risk hotspots in refugee-hosting landscapes in Jordan, using Jerash Refugee Camp as a pilot site. The approach combines hydrological analysis, climate projections, remote sensing data, and socio-economic indicators to assess water availability, accessibility, and community vulnerability. By integrating flood and drought hazard assessments with indicators of exposure, sensitivity, and adaptive capacity, the framework identifies spatial climate risk hotspots where vulnerable communities face the greatest climate-related pressures. The framework can be adopted in similar conflict afflicted landscapes to support evidence-based decision-making and help prioritize targeted adaptation strategies to improve water security and climate resilience in refugee and host communities.
