'This was a first and necessary step on the road to an economy with zero emissions'

Legislation intended to bind the framework for Israel’s efforts to combat climate change passed a first vote in the Israeli parliament (Knesset) on Tuesday, allowing the next government to pick it up again after the upcoming election in November.

Failing to pass the vote would have killed the bill, which proposes measures for the government and other public agencies to reduce their greenhouse gas emission and address threats from climate change.
