Eighteen oversized globes - each artistically showcasing an approach to climate change, from solar power to rooftop gardens, recycling to fuel efficiency - were installed along a beautiful and educational public art pathway leading from the Jaffa Gate to the Jerusalem City Hall courtyard.

In 2007, Cool Globes premiered in Chicago and has been spreading across North America and Europe.

The official launch of Cool Globes Jerusalem coincided with Earth Day, April 22, 2013, at the International Symposium on Green Pilgrimage.

"A quarter of a billion people around the globe go on pilgrimage every year. This has a tremendous impact," says Naomi Tsur, deputy mayor of Jerusalem and Green Pilgrimage Network Ambassador. "We are extremely proud that Jerusalem was the first city to host a symposium of this kind and to have been able to have the Cool Globes as our partners in this venture."
