EcoPeace has taken a leading role in calling for action to save the Dead Sea, which may be in danger of drying up due to some environmental factors. Various groups and government officials from several countries say that a pipeline from the Red Sea is needed to save the Dead Sea. Some experts questioned this project. Hebrew University of Jerusalem Prof. Avner Adin said more studies were needed on the potential environmental impact. Among the key initiatives is the 2022 Water for Energy agreement between Israel and Jordan. As global leader in desalination, Israel supplies drinking water produced from seawater. In return, Jordan which has vast desert areas suited to
renewable energy, develops solar and wind installations designed to supply Israel with
green electricity. Palestinian territories face severe water insecurity, particularly in the
Gaza Strip, where up to 96% of the water is deemed unsafe to drink. The Israeli government deliberately and systematically denies Palestinians access to clean water as a form of
collective punishment, particularly during the
war in Gaza. Additionally, water infrastructure in the

Structural constraints, demographic pressures, and existing water-sharing arrangements such as those established under the Oslo Accords, also limit access and management capacity. Environmental policy frameworks exist, but implementation depends on external investment and regional cooperation. EcoPeace Middle East frames its
Green Blue Deal as an actionable pathway to regional cooperation, built on four interdependent priorities: == Awards ==
