Israel puts forward climate change preparedness plan

Tel Aviv [Israel], November 23 (ANI/TPS): Israel's Ministry of Environmental Protection said that its Directorate of Preparedness for Climate Change convened to discuss the draft of the National Plan for Preparedness for Climate Change.

Idit Silman, Minister of Environmental Protection: "Even these days we face environmental challenges. The Ministry of Environmental Protection continues to help the economy deal with the challenges of the environmental war in the fields of energy, waste, industry and more. We will continue to promote the issue of climate and lead Israel's preparation for climate change through, among other things, Government ministries and local government." (ANI/TPS)
