What does the bill do?
The proposal sets a goal of strengthening the climate resilience of the State of Israel and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It sets targets for the planning period: by 2030 – reducing electricity consumption by at least 17%, reducing private vehicle travel by at least 20%, generating at least 50% of electricity from renewable energy, and reducing the annual amount of emissions by at least 45%. By 2050 – transition to a zero-carbon economy. The proposal requires every government ministry to propose an annual multi-ministry work plan to achieve these targets, as well as examining the environmental impacts of every new regulation on greenhouse gas emissions and setting a national plan for preparedness for climate crises.
