KKL-JNF and the Ambassadors' Club of Israel are working together to raise awareness to the climate crisis.
As part of KKL- JNF and the ambassadors club collaboration, dozens of ambassadors from Spain, Zambia, Colombia, Thailand, Rwanda and other countries took part in a fascinating tour of the Jerusalem area.
The tour began with a visit to the Grove of Nations and a meeting with KKL-JNF World Chairman Avraham Duvdevani at The National Institutions House in Jerusalem. The Ambassadors received an overview of KKL-JNF's activities in the field of international relations and an overview of the activities that are taking place to battle against the affects of the climate change.
The day tour ended with a special tree planting ceremony at KKL-JNF's Eshtaol Nursery. As it is a Shmita year, all ambassadors planted trees in special pots and not in the ground.
Avraham Duvdevani, Chairman of KKL - JNF: "We are pleased to host the Ambassadors' Club at KKL-JNF's sites and to present our critical activities in protecting Israel and the planet from the destructive influence of the climate change."
Yitzhak Eldan, President of the Ambassadors' Club: "Ambassadors' Club mission is to connect foreign diplomats to Israel on a number of issues. Many countries can learn from KKL-JNFs rich experience and cooperate with the organization as it is the largest environmental organization in Israel that offers innovating sustainable solutions to deal with the effects of the climate crisis.
