History
At Life & Environment (L&E), our goal is to bring together all the different groups within Israel’s environmental movement to create a strong, united force for change. Picture this movement as a large, colorful quilt, with each piece representing a different organization or strategy. Our job is to stitch these pieces together, making sure that everyone’s efforts combine into something bigger and more powerful.

Our Story ⏳
Since its establishment in 1975, Life & Environment has been operating under the Planning and Building Act, under which it was assigned as the umbrella organization of the environmental movement with representation rights in the National Council for Planning and Construction.
In 2002, following L&E’s initiative, the Knesset passed the Representation Act, mandating the representation of environmental organizations in local and state planning and construction committees. L&E holds the legal mandate to represent the Environmental Movement by virtue of the existence of this law.
Since Mr. Eran Ben Yemini was appointed Acting Executive Director in 2017, the organization has reevaluated its role and redefined itself as an infrastructure organization. It currently operates various projects in service of the environmental movement as a whole, with over 150 national and local member organizations.
