According to a government resolution, the Ministry of Environmental Protection was assigned to prepare a national plan for Israel’s adaptation to climate change. For this purpose, the Ministry initiated the establishment of an Israeli knowledge center on the subject, to work on strengthening existing scientific knowledge regarding preparedness for climate change in Israel and even market the accumulated Israeli knowledge to other target countries.
The Israel Climate Change Information Center was established in March 2011 at Haifa University in collaboration with Tel Aviv University, the Technion, and the Samuel Neaman Institute at the Technion.
ICCIC-Israeli Climate Change Information Center
The Website: http://www.iccic.org.il/ICCIC/index.asp?DBID=1&LNGID=1 is designed, maintained and funded by the Ministry of Environmental Protection. It allows access to all the areas examined as part of the knowledge center’s work. The Website contains scientific articles from relevant databases, national and local programs on preparedness for climate change from around the world, reports and summaries of discussions, and more.
The Website serves as a platform for the use of both the scientific community and the general public.
The amount of information in this area is huge, and we call researchers, government officials, NGOs, and others to help us add “refined” content to the Website in order to enrich the existing knowledge.
