ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS

PAST TO PRESENT

Rapid Industrializa

tion since Independenc

e

Govt. was slow to react

towards ecological protection

Implementation

hampered by unstructural

response from govt.

High density of

population worsened

the situation

ENVIRONMENTALREGULATIONS

• Clean Air Law – emissions permit, mandatory adoption of Best Available Techniques and the introduction of polluter-pays concepts

• Ministry of Environment Protection, 1988• Law for control of pollutants• Waste Regulation Framework– Drinking Bottles Refund Law– Packaging Management Law

• Green Licensing Law

CHALLENGES FACED

• Air Pollution – Industrial and Automobile emissions

• High Carbon-di-oxide emissions• Water Pollution – Chemical industries,

direct discharge in rivers• Rise in sea level – 2.8M people lives are at

risk

CHALLENGES FACEDCONTD…

• Population Density– Densely populated– Safeguarding natural resources is a difficult task

• Water shortages– More demand than supply– Little rainfall– Rivers polluted

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

• Ranked 25th among 39 OECD member countries in terms of air quality

• Ranked 34th among 39 OECD member countries in terms of water satisfaction

• Due to Air Pollution 1200 people die each year due to air pollution

• More than 80% of Israel trash is buried in dumps

• Bio – Diversity is collapsing

STEPS TAKEN TO REDUCEPOLLUTION

• Switch to non polluting public transportation

• Use of Solar Pannel to generate electricity• Polluter pays concept• Water recycling• Desalination Plants
