Gidon Bromberg
About
Gidon Bromberg is the founder and 3 decade Israeli co-director of EcoPeace Middle East. EcoPeace is a unique regional organization that brings together Jordanian, Palestinian, and Israeli environmentalists to promote sustainable development and advance peace efforts in the Middle East.
Mr. Bromberg has spearheaded the organization’s advocacy campaigns in the Middle East and internationally. He developed a cross-border community peace-building program known as “Good Water Neighbors.” The program has helped advance rehabilitation efforts in the Jordan River and defuse the sanitation crisis in Gaza, leading to the removal of most of the pollution from Gaza Strip and southern Israel beaches. The program is seen as a model for environmental peacebuilding in other conflict areas around the world.
Mr. Bromberg, an attorney by profession, is an alumnus of Monash University in Australia, Washington College of Law, and Yale University’s World Fellows program. In 2022 Mr. Bromberg was invited to join the jury of the prestigious Goldman Environment Prize, known as the ‘noble prize’ for the environment.
