Green Prophet and the Strategic Foresight Group partnered to interview Israeli water experts. The aim was to find ways in which Israel could help promote water security in the region. We’ve interviewed the country’s Water Commissioner’s office, heads of top NGOs like Friends of the Earth Middle East, and researchers who know Israel’s water industry from the inside.
Below, Green Prophet highlights these different experts — all who were given 5 pertinent questions directed to long term sustainable solutions. We hope this series will be an invaluable tool for local and international journalists, and international policy makers involved in the Middle East region. We invite your questions and comments below.
