Discusion

Israeli Ambassador Hadas Wittenberg Silverstein with Swedish Ambassador Lars Wahlund on thursday at Vilnius Green Tech Forum  discussed in the ambassadors debate the topic "What are the main goals that should unite democracies today to create a secure future?" 

According to the ambassador, Israel considers the climate crisis an integral part of the national security agenda.

"Green energy progress is crucial not only for environmental reasons but also to restrain financing sources for authoritarian regimes and terrorist networks.

A secure future requires that we don’t choose between security and sustainability but see them as interdependent", - emphasizes Hadas Wittenberg Silverstein.
