Welcome to the National Institute for Climate and Environmental Policy at Ben Gurion University

A unique policy institute dedicated to the development of advanced climate policy and sustainable solutions.

In an era of accelerating climate change and growing environmental challenges, our institute places itself at the forefront of research and policy, with the aim of driving significant change in Israel and the region.

The institute is headed by Tamar Zandberg, former Minister of Environmental Protection, who brings with her rich experience in political activity and a deep commitment to promoting climate policy.

We believe that through cooperation between academia, government and social organizations, it is possible to develop effective solutions that will improve the quality of life and protect the environment.

The Institute for Climate and Environmental Policy was established out of an urgent need and belief that decision-making and policy-making based on science, knowledge and research will lead to better planning and better results.

The Institute promotes national and international collaborations to ensure that our knowledge and experience are translated into actual actions.

We invite you, senior academics, government officials and associations, to join us in this journey, to cooperate and create a sustainable future together. For more details about the Institute's activities, current research and ways of cooperation, we invite you to continue browsing our website.
