Ambassador Segev-Steinberg spoke of Israel’s historic contributions to the environment. He further noted that, “Israel’s environmental awareness and technological development has never been for her use alone.”
It has benefited her Palestinian, Jordanian and Egyptian neighbours, who have also profited through better utilization of the region’s scarce water resources, the management of waste products, and the exchange of technology in areas of agriculture and energy conservation.
Further afield, said the Ambassador, Israel’s revolutionary drip-irrigation techniques are now utilized in many parts of Africa, India and the Far East, helping millions of people to manage their natural resources to provide sufficient food for their communities.
