Why it matters

The climate crisis is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity, and the international climate summit is a critical venue for global cooperation. For Israel, participation is seen as essential to promote its technologies and improve its diplomatic standing by supporting key demands on the agenda, such as a rapid transition away from fossil fuels.

Globally, the summit is an annual gathering of countries party to the UNFCCC, which is a specialized agency of the United Nations. The inability of a participating nation to attend due to geopolitical tensions strains the international dialogue and the diplomatic efforts of the global body.
