In 2019, he graduated with an MSc in Sustainable Resources: Economics, Policy, and Transitions from the Bartlett School of Environment, Energy and Resources, UCL. His studies as a postgraduate provided him with knowledge of the circular economy, renewable and non-renewable resources, and environmental policy.

During his BSc, his interest in sustainability grew from undertaking the module: Recycling, Resource, and Waste Management, leading him to conduct a research project exploring the impacts of cocoa production on the natural environment and smallholder farmers in Asamankese, Ghana.
Israel is currently supporting a variety of projects at PRD with a focus on community engagement.
