Israel’s Plan to Achieve Zero Emissions by 2050 Unveiled by President Isaac Herzog
Tel Aviv [Israel], September 17: Israel’s Ministry of Energy and Infrastructures, in cooperation with the President’s Office and the Israeli Climate Forum, held the first public presentation and participation conference of the Ministry’s plan to reset emissions from the energy sector in Israel by 2050.
The event was attended by representatives from government ministries, regulators, government companies, local authorities, industry entities, academia, entrepreneurs, and civil society organizations. Additional professional meetings will be held on the subject.
President Isaac Herzog praised the work and said, “The impressive plan presented today is based on principles of decentralization and technological innovation. One of its central ideas – the transition from polluting energy production to renewable energy sources – is also an important national strategic interest. The current war reminds us that Israel cannot afford to depend on exclusive energy sources that could be targeted in the event of war. Decentralization and diversification of the sources on which the Israeli energy market is based, as well as the development of sources and infrastructure for energy storage, will establish Israel’s resilience in the face of threat scenarios and attribution.”
He added, “Zero emissions holds innumerable opportunities for regional and supra-regional cooperation that will contribute to the development of the Israeli economy and advance the status of Israel in the world. Even in times of war against our enemies, and perhaps especially in it, we must remember that there are friends around us who are thirsty for cooperation that will fortify the front against those who seek our evil.”
