ISRAEL’S CLIMATE CONFERENCE AT BGU

SOLAR POWER TO REDUCE UNIVERSITY’S ENERGY COSTS The Marcus Family Campus will soon derive a portion of its energy from solar power. Solar panels were installed on the roofs of three buildings on the campus at a cost of NIS 2 million, which the University expects to recoup in energy cost savings over the next few years.

Solar panels were installed in November

Ben-Gurion University was proud to be the academic partner and host of the Israel Climate Change Conference in conjunction with the Israel Climate Forum, an initiative of the President of the State of Israel. Some 500 leaders, including President Yitzhak Herzog, Minister for the Environment Idit Silman, Dr. Dov Khenin, Chairman of the Israel Climate Forum, and Michael Sonnenfeldt, debated challenges and possible solutions.
