    Wind, Solar, and Beyond: Mapping the Progress of Sustainable Energy Transition in Jordan The governments of the Middle East have long faced the challenge of achieving sustainable development. On one front, they must meet the rising energy demand driven by expanding economic activities. Simultaneously, the worsening environmental conditions pose a significant apprehension for political economists. Across the Middle East countries, the challenges encompass bridging the expanding disparity between energy supply and demand, dependency on fossil fuels, and the ascent of global prices. The Middle East can utilize its ample potential in renewable energy to address these challenges related to sustainable transition. Like many developing nations, Jordan grapples with challenges, constraints, and obstacles in augmenting the integration of renewable energy technologies. A compelling rationale for embracing these technologies in Jordan lies in the country's scarcity of traditional commercial energy sources juxtaposed with its rich solar and wind reserves. To be straightforward, Renewable energy technologies involve low operating and maintenance costs and inherently possess more excellent environmental friendliness than conventional energy sources, rendering them indispensable elements in the regional and national energy portfolio. The future trajectory of renewable energy technology is shaped by three pivotal factors: economic considerations, scientific and technological aspects, and the commitment to environmental cleanliness. Despite favorable solar and wind conditions, the likelihood of greater integration of renewable energy technologies into the energy portfolios of developing nations, including Jordan, is limited compared to more developed counterparts. The economic challenges confronting developing countries, combined with a deficient foundation in science and technology, impede the advancement of renewable energy technology. Additionally, the insufficient environmental awareness in developing countries fails to generate sufficient momentum for adopting renewable energy technology. This study thoroughly investigates the complex interconnection among sustainable development, renewable energy, and the unique context of Jordan within the broader context of the Middle East. Utilizing a methodological approach that integrates qualitative data from various sources, including research studies, government statistics, and reports from international organizations, the study examines Jordan's landscape in renewable energy. It emphasizes explicitly policy frameworks, projects, and government initiatives. Jordan is making significant strides in renewable energy, driven by the country's commitment to diversify its energy mix, reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels, and address environmental concerns. Despite facing challenges such as a growing population, economic uncertainties, and geopolitical complexities, Jordan has emerged as a regional leader in renewable energy capacity, particularly in wind and solar energy. The study affirms Jordan's significant strides in renewable energy, emphasizing the need for strategic attention to overcome challenges. By implementing the provided recommendations, Jordan has the potential to secure its energy future, foster regional economic development, and fortify environmental sustainability.
