Millions Allocated for Environmental Projects in Arab Communities

Jerusalem, 12 November, 2025 (TPS-IL) — Israel’s Ministry of Environmental Protection says it continues to strengthen local authorities’ preparedness for climate change, including Arab communities. After supporting dozens of local authorities with approximately 44 million Shekels ($13.75 million) over the past three years, the Ministry is publishing a new, dedicated call for proposals for authorities in Arab society for a total of 15 million Shekels ($4.68 million) to promote shadowing, as part of Government Resolution 550 regarding the economic plan to reduce gaps in Arab society by 2026.

The support is intended to reduce heat loads in urban areas, improve the quality of life of residents, and strengthen the climate resilience of local authorities in Israel’s Arab society communities.
