The center, which will be directed by agriculture Prof. Yael Mishael and also led by representatives from all Hebrew University campuses, will retain university fellows and graduate students, and will work with government officials, leaders in civil society and the private sector to promote sustainability efforts across Israel.

As the world commemorates Earth Day 2021, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (HU) has announced its new Center for Sustainability. The Center is being established to increase environmental research and teaching within the University and to promote sustainability projects across Israel.
In recent years, there has been widespread consensus regarding the critical importance of sustainability in the face of rapidly changing climate conditions. HU President Professor Asher Cohen emphasized that âsustainability needs to be a central goal of our Universityâ, adding, âwhile there is considerable ongoing âgreenâ activity across the University, it does not reflect the urgency of this issue for Israel and the world.â
