The Arava region in Israel provides examples of technological innovations that fit in with the local climate and available resources, in this case an abundance of sunlight, warm winters, and lack of rainfall. The region has undergone a shift towards renewable energy and sustainable technology in the past sixteen years. Our team created resources to communicate sustainable technology innovations in the Arava region to Israel’s cleantech professionals through short, informational videos. We created videos on three topics by filming interviews and demonstrations of technology with local experts. These video topics were: off-grid technology for the developed world, applications of circular economy on a community scale, and renewable energy as an economic pillar for kibbutzim.
