Over the past two decades he has helped build renewable energy infrastructure across Israel and Africa, bringing clean power to communities that had long been excluded from reliable energy access. In this episode of The Impact Equation , Yossi reflects on the activist movements that shaped him, from the Soviet Jewry campaign to anti-apartheid organising, and how those experiences informed his approach to building entirely new industries. He tells the remarkable story of arriving in Israel's Arava desert intending to write a book, only to discover that one of the sunniest places on earth generated almost none of its electricity from solar power. What followed was a years-long effort to create an entirely new regulatory and commercial framework for renewable energy in the region. Hosted on Acast.
