Climate policy tools, including legislative, financial and technological measures designed
to curb emissions, have considerable social, economic and political consequences that
emanate from differences in current use of fossil fuels by different sub-groups. This paper,
which presents a first analysis of some of these disparities in the case of Israel, is part of a
larger project that covers four areas of consumption: electricity consumption (DEC);
transport; food consumption and solid waste. A first phase of that project, it looks at
inequalities in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in two sectors that between them are
responsible to more than 70% of Israel’s energy and transport.
