Israel is a small country that contributes little to global GHG emissions. But our geographical location, the geopolitical location, the geopolitical reality and unique socio-demographics make Israel particularly vulnerable to climate change.

And Israel is warming at twice the global average. Climate change will impact on public health, food production, the economy and even the regional security.

We call on the government to enact stringent climate legislation and to restore budgets for essential climate resilience measures, without further delay.
