Summary/Abstract: Israel is firmly building its image as a state committed to climate protection. However, the authorities and society began to adapt to global trends in this field only in the last decade. Despite newly launched exploitation of gas deposits and technological potential, structural problems continue to be a challenge for Israel and are aggravated by high demographic growth, growing resources consumption, and inconsistent government policies. Energy and climate are also increasingly influencing Israeli foreign policy, which is visible in, for example, its contribution to the regional gas market and export of green technologies.
