    Israel prepares for climate change

    Israel is preparing for the effects of climate change as a recent study has revealed the region will become more susceptible to raising temperatures and torrential rains, reports Globes.

    The study concluded that over the next ten years, the average annual temperatures in Israel will rise by 0.5-0.3 degrees Celsius, while the average annual precipitates will fall 1.1  per cent to 3.7 per cent.

    The Ministry of Environmental Protection announced a comprehensive national plan of action, called 'adaption to climate change', which is based on a report prepared by a team of experts. The team examined the effects of climate change on the region, and the government's readiness for these anticipated changes.

    Torrential rain and flooding have been cited as some of the primary effects of climate change, as well as raising temperatures and increased desertification. The increase in the dry desert terrain will particularly impact Southern Israel.

    The government will instigate changes to building designs, as well as urban planning changers in anticipation of the change in climate.

    Civilian and military coastal facilities will also been adapted in an effort to counteract rising sea levels that are predicted, and new insurance plans are being prepared that will cover natural disasters.
