As part of efforts to tackle the impact of climate change, Israel has announced the launch of a national plan to plant 450,000 trees across the country.

This is according to a joint statement issued by the country’s ministries of Environmental Protection and Agriculture and Rural Development.

The plan which is valued at a total of 2.25 billion shekels ($716 million), includes the planting of trees along about 3 million metres of streets by 2040, Xinhua news agency quoted the statement as saying.

According to reports, the plan was approved by the government after reports by Israel’s Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Minister of Environmental Protection Tamar Zandberg and Minister of Agriculture Oded Forer.

The statement explained that the trees will be planted following artificial intelligence mapping of the existing tree shade cover in the local authorities, adding that the trees will also significantly reduce heat spots, protect from heavy rains and reduce further negative consequences of climate change and pollution.
