Israeli President Isaac Herzog announced the establishment of the Israeli Climate Forum on Oct. 19. The new forum, which will operate under Herzog’s office, will shape Israel's role in fighting the global climate crisis and include representatives from the government, Israeli academia, local authorities, civil society and the business sector.
The forum is expected to convene every three months, bringing together top government officials, senior researchers, civil society activists and leaders within Israel’s business and industrial sectors to advance national action and plans to fight the climate crisis. Subcommittees will then advance ideas and solutions in the relevant government ministries.
