Technological advances alone will be insufficient to mitigate the global environmental footprint by 2050. This study introduces an integrative model that considers demographic trends, technological developments and behavioural changes and examines their potential contributions to future carbon, land and water footprints using Israel as a case study. The results are relevant for both Israel and the rest of the world.
