The paper explores Jordan’s green transition pathway and its prospective development. Jordan has always struggled with its energy resource deficiency. Unlike its oil-rich neighboring, the country relied on energy imports. Its extreme water poverty added yet another restraint on the country’s economy and development. It is no wonder, then, that the green transition was met with much enthusiasm with various state initiatives. Nevertheless, the prospective development of major changes could only be assessed by looking closely at state-society relations, present and potential interests, the power of interest representation, and existing relations between different actors that enable or disable them from working together. The paper investigates the pathway that Jordan takes in its green transition. The Jordanian case is investigated and especially in terms of who is going to benefit or lose from the selected pathway for the transition? And whether this pathway will be sustainable, at least in the medium run? While the former refers to the extractivity/inclusivity of the pathway, the latter assesses its stability/instability.
