Description

Tunisia is an arid country experiencing drought, land degradation, and desertification. These issues affect the country's environment, economy, and culture. Tunisia is focusing on sustainable development goals to address climate change, life on land, and industrialization. A key focus in the Intended Nationally Determined Contribution is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions over multiple sectors. Pressure from climate change impacts a critical piece of Tunisia's culture, the olive tree. The olive tree is an important ecological indicator. The government is responding to these issues by the publication of new environmental laws and policies that focus on the economy, equity, and sustainability.
