Establishing the Jericho Environmental District for Sustainable Community Development

The Center for Environmental Diplomacy (CED) is a nonprofit devoted to improving environmental conditions across borders, with initiatives in the U.S., Israel, Palestine, Jordan, and Japan. To combat pressing issues like waste pollution, water contamination, and public health challenges, CED proposes the creation of the Jericho Environmental District (JED). This pilot project aims to develop a local institution focused on sustainable environmental solutions through public-private partnerships, facilitating waste management and enhancing public health in the Jericho area.
