Scarred by long-standing, deadly geopolitical conflicts, the Middle East is also one of the most arid regions in the world, where the control of natural resources— increasingly affected by climate change—has become an additional source of conflict. Amid a backdrop of mistrust between neighbours, activists have taken the bold step of bringing together Palestinians, Israelis, and Jordanians around the shared goal of protecting their common environmental heritage.

Founded in 1994, EcoPeace Middle East brings together Jordanian, Palestinian and Israeli environmentalists to advance both sustainable regional development and the creation of necessary conditions for lasting peace in the region. The NGO takes a bottom-up approach to educate local constituents, as well as a top-down approach to advance vital policies. In three decades, the organisation has managed to break down borders and barriers, working to change mindsets and ways of thinking. EcoPeace Middle East has been nominated for the 2024 Nobel Peace Prize.

Gidon Bromberg is the cofounder and Israel Director of EcoPeace Middle East. Gidon has written extensively on the relationship between water issues and Middle East peace and has presented before the UN Security Council, UN Climate Summit, US Congress, European Parliament and other international forums.
