The opening as it read in 2020
Israel's location, with the disputed territories in light green The State of Israel is one of the smallest countries in the world, around 20,000 sq. km, and has relatively few natural resources.1 Due to its limited space, semi-arid climate , high population growth and resource scarcity, Israel is highly susceptible to environmental crises. These include water shortages and pollution, shrinking of the Dead Sea , waste production and disposal, air pollution and population density. As a result, resource development, in particular water, has benefited from relatively high government support throughout most of the country's history. Additionally, Israel is party to several international agreements regarding air pollution and climate change , including the Kyoto Protocol , the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and Montreal Protocol . Despite having taken these steps, Israel's environment continues to suffer as a rapidly growing population and standard of living contributes to increasing Green House Gas emissions and air pollutants, reductions in natural and open spaces via urbanization, over-pumping of water sources beyond their replenishment rates and deterioration of water used for drinking and irrigation.
