At the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology, we don't just talk about the environment - we are here for the environment. The Technion today is the country's leading institute in this field and is a model for other academic institutions in Israel and around the world.

The Technion, as Israel's first and major technological university, bears responsibility for educating engineers and scientists and for being in the forefront of research and development resolving environmental issues.

Science, technology and engineering are key means to reach environmental sustainability and to ensure development that is not environmentally damaging and destructive. The Technion, as an educational institute for engineers and scientists, is committed to incorporate the environmental perspective in all its operations, and to mobilize the best of its knowledge and talent so as to lead in Israel's sustainable development, an environmentally-responsive development.

In order to achieve this goal, the Technion, at the beginning of May 2000, launched the Technion's Green Campus project, at the initiative and support of the S. Neaman Institute.

The activities and plans for the future are described in this paper. Further information can be found at: Technion's green campus - website
