Israel's Environmental Laws and Regulations

Until recently Environmental Laws and Regulations were not considered as important as the development of technology or expansion of cities. This has changed since the 2000 with the global concern attached to climate change. As many other cities around the world, Israel has been one of the first to create and incorporate environmental laws to companies and industries in order to obtain sustainable development and minimize the risk of pollution and environmental degradation.

Today, the list of laws extend to many new areas, with laws relating specifically to environmental concern. Regulations requiring the carrying out of environmental impact studies, anti pollution provision to prevent water and air pollution, the recycling law, laws and regulations against pollution of the sea, land planning statutes for the preservation of forested areas and others.

In this space we will be talking and developing a little more further the importance and impact of the new laws and regulations in Israel's sustainable environmental development.
