The Annual Conference on Science and the Environment is Israel’s leading environmental event and serves as a unique forum for cross-sector dialogue on key environmental–social issues. Participants include government bodies, researchers, journalists, experts, industry representatives, civil society organizations, and the general public. The conference hosts roughly 2,000 participants each year and features a wide range of sessions addressing different dimensions of environmental action: research and science, policy development and implementation, and business development and activity.
