| Did You Know? “Israel is leading the way in climate innovation with cutting-edge technologies that tackle global environmental challenges. One standout example is its pioneering work in water recycling and desalination. Israel recycles nearly 90% of its wastewater—the highest rate in the world—and uses this recycled water for agriculture, drastically reducing freshwater consumption. Additionally, Israeli startups are creating breakthrough solutions in sustainable agriculture, like drip irrigation systems that conserve water and increase crop yields, and eco-friendly alternatives to meat production that cut down on greenhouse gas emissions. These efforts position Israel as a powerful force for positive environmental change on a global scale.” |
