Abstract

THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY, recognizing the need for multistate cooperation to stop global environmental devastation, has adopted multilateral agreements as frameworks for action. Israel is among those joining these agreements, but to what end? Given the degree to which the Arab-Israeli conflict has historically shaped its identity, can Israel rebrand itself through a global environmental role? Can its strategic participation in several environmental agreements overcome political obstacles? Will its environmental diplomacy, in short, create a new identity for Israel?.
