Relationships between the environment and different communities that share it, specifically in and around Israel, given the negative effects of climate change and environmental degradation throughout the Middle East. We will examine the ecological and environmental challenges Israel has faced over the years, the many innovative ways in which it has worked to overcome these challenges, and the tasks that still lie ahead. Finally, we will look at the nexus between sustainable development and sustainable peace within and between diverse communities.
