EUROPE - Israel Follows Lead on Climate
In the new era of deglobalization, where resilience is the new currency; Israel cannot rely on its past alone. It must evolve, especially now when the opportunity is so massive and the global economy is changing course.
As the United States turns inward and global supply chains fragment, Europe is emerging on top, and not by accident; it has been preparing for years.
It’s time for Israel to follow suit.
Over the past decade, Europe was hit by crisis after crisis: Trump’s protectionist policies, Covid’s supply shocks, and Russia’s weaponization of energy. These weren’t just setbacks; they were lessons for the direction the world is heading in the 21st century.
Global capital, in search of stability, is flowing into European projects in the fields of energy, climate and industry. Europe isn’t chasing headlines, it’s building assets.
Despite growing interest in climate investments, national policy and public capital are still lagging. Climate tech is still perceived as a “green niche,” rather than as the core engine of a resilient, future-proof economy.
If Israel wants to preserve its technological edge, it must treat climate resilience the same way it treated cybersecurity: as a national priority.
The world is entering a new era of strategic competition. Countries that build resilient, self-sufficient and energy-efficient economies will lead 21st-century growth.

Arno's Commentary
This report in Israel21c by Guy Chemi highlights climate resilience.
Israel has the know-how when it comes to high-tech. This time, Europe is leading the way. What does climate technology mean? For one thing, it is assumed that technology can influence climate change. What does it entail? “From energy storage to smart grid; from mineral recycling to the creation of sustainable materials in the lab, climate tech defines the next era of industrial innovation. Europe sees that clearly. And it’s acting.”
The problem with aiming in this direction is that it is built, not on hard-nosed data but often on assumptions.
We realize that with all of mankind’s amazing technological advancements, we still depend on the rain that comes from heaven, without which life would cease to exist on planet earth. Dependence upon God the Creator is absolute and totally independent of all technological achievements.
During this time, which we may call the end stages of the end times, we are witnessing some amazing developments that remind us of 2 Thessalonians 2:9: “Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.” In simple terms, this means we as believers need to focus our attention away from the seemingly miraculous technology to the Creator, who holds all things in His hands.
To those who do not believe, verse 10 applies: “And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.”
There is one more thing noticeable in this development; namely, that the world is looking toward Europe—that is, the revived Roman Empire. It was during Roman rule that Jesus came to Israel, where He fulfilled much of the prophetic Word: where He was crucified and died, but was resurrected. Is this a foreshadowing of things to come regarding Jesus’ return to Israel?
