Netanyahu: Israel must work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
At the beginning of the weekly government meeting on Sunday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that "The environmental crisis and global warming have created a huge challenge which humanity must deal with. Israel is also dealing with this crisis, for example, facing a dry winter. Which is why Israel, as a developed country must enlist in the battle and work to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions while offering technological solutions to a global problem."
"Following the environmental protection minister's Copenhagen conference commitment to reduce Israel's greenhouse gas emissions by 20%, today, the government will decide on a significant investment of 2.2 billion shekels ($500,000,000) to implement a plan that will help us reach those goals," added Netanyahu.
