The promise was made to over 800 mayors, governors and parliamentary officials by the Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael - Jewish National Foundation (KKL-JNF) at the International Conference of Sister Cities and Municipal Organizations held in Jerusalem in September last year.

The initiative to offset carbon emissions is timely, given the likely effect of global warming on Israel and its neighbors.
