Climate Change: Canadian JNF Launches Annual $1 Million Prize for Innovative Israeli Solutions

The Jewish National Fund of Canada has pledged to donate $1 million annually to new, innovative Israeli solutions for climate change. Since an estimated 326,000 Jews live in the country, that amount is quite impressive. As reported by The Jerusalem Post: “The prize will be the largest of its type in Israel, the organization said.” A separate track for Israeli start-ups offering technological solutions to battle climate change is also being run by Start-Up Nation Central.
 
Quote: “Climate change has recently come to the forefront of global attention. This week, a report by the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated that the world is dangerously close to runaway warming, that humans are ‘unequivocally’ to blame, and that the world must take immediate, rapid and large-scale action to reduce emissions.”
