Arava Institute for Environmental Studies

On this day of joy @AravaInstitute, their Palestinian partner Damour and former minister Tamar Zandberg came to the Embassy. Israeli-Palestinian-Jordanian cooperation on environmental challenges for the whole region. Still something rare, one day quite normal, I hope.

Just wrapped up another successful partner meeting in #Chania, Greece! The @EcoFuturePrima is making great progress in the co-design phase, collaborating with stakeholders to develop a strategic plan to combat desertification in the Jordan Valley. #Wefenexus #Desertification

The @AravaInstitute, founded by laureate Alon Tal, has been working on wastewater, solar and generators in Gaza communities to create off-grid environmental solutions before large-scale rebuilding begins in the region. Learn more about Arava's work: timesofisrael.com/palestinians-i…

Must read! "The Environmental-Humanitarian Impacts of the War in Gaza" - this is a devastating report from a research institute inside Israel - even when the violence stops - the lingering health effects will be horrific for years! This war must end. arava.org/caed/environme…

🎙️ #NewSecurityBroadcast | Environmental Cooperation in the Middle East @Lisa_Palmer speaks with the @AravaInstitute's Dr. Hamed about the opportunities and challenges of climate and #EnvironmentalPeacebuilding efforts in Gaza and the Middle East. buff.ly/3Y7Gbvc

🌿Excited to share that the @AravaInstitute is actively involved in the @EcoFuturePrima project! Together, we've mapped the WEFE Nexus in the Jordan Valley. 🌍 #WEFENexus #EcoFuture #JordanValley #AravaInstitute

In a world and a region where water-related violence is on the rise, environmental #peacebuilders @AravaInstitute are working to bring clean water and sanitation to Gazans. We speak to Arava's David Lehrer on an upcoming episode of the podcast. theguardian.com/world/article/…

“At one of the darkest moments in Israel’s history, while our own brothers and sisters are suffering, our humanity is tested by our ability to recognize human suffering in the faces of our neighbors.” - Rachel Kalikow, @AravaInstitute

Great to see our friends & partners @AravaInstitute featured in this @eJPhil piece on Jewish led initiatives to help Palestinian civilians in Gaza. ejewishphilanthropy.com/citing-jewish-…

From @TimesofIsrael: @AravaInstitute, an ALLMEP member, is partnering with Damour for Community Development to launch "Jumpstarting Hope in Gaza." This initiative aims to enhance wastewater treatment, desalination, and solar energy in Gaza. timesofisrael.com/palestinians-i…

A community space and kitchen in the Zomi displaced people’s camp in Gaza has been named for Vivian Silver, a 74-year-old Canadian-born peace activist killed by Hamas on October 7. Read more at this link: timesofisrael.com/israeli-peace-…

Eilon Adar: We must have mutual recognition that water must be kept beyond conflict.

@BernardAmadei : I have a hard time with the concept of "the day after." It is not the day after that we are after, it is the day now and what matters is what we do now.

Eilon Adar: If we look towards the future, we are facing the challenge to create a sustainable water supply to Gaza. Politically and morally it is wrong to have a thirsty neighbor.

Now at our event an Expert panel on the Environmental and Humanitarian crisis in Gaza: Dr. @ShiraEfron , Prof. @BernardAmadei , Dr. Eilon Adar, facilitated by Dr. Clive Lipchin

@davidhassan on the motivation of his humanitarian health work in Gaza
