Tunisia

Overview

Tunisia submitted its first NDC in 2015 and updated NDC in 2021. The updated NDC has an emissions reduction target of 45% by 2030 as compared to a 2010 baseline. The updated NDC covers the energy, industrial processes and product use, agriculture, forestry and land use, waste, water, ecosystems, coastal zones, health, and tourism sectors. The overall cost of NDC implementation is estimated at USD 19.3 billion for 2021-2030 including 14.3 billion US dollars for mitigation, 4.3 billion US dollars for adaptation, and 0.7 billion US dollars for capacity building actions. Tunisa is committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050 as reflected in the Long-term Low Emission Development Strategy (LT LEDS) submitted to the UNFCCC in 2022.

Climate Commitments

Partnership Engagement
  • Membership: member since 2017
  • Country Engagement: Tunisia has been a member of the NDC Partnership since 2017 and joined the Steering Committee in 2024. The Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Finance are the main government counterparts engaged in the Partnership. Through the Global Call, Tunisia is currently receiving support for the preparation of its third Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0), as well as for the development of an NDC Implementation and Investment Plan. An in-country facilitation mechanism is in place, and additional technical expertise is supporting national efforts to strengthen climate finance coordination and project development. Further support is focused on advancing investment planning in priority sectors, including the blue economy, and on strengthening engagement with sector ministries through targeted capacity-building activities related to climate finance and project proposal development. Tunisia has also benefited from support for the development of a pipeline of project concepts aligned with national climate priorities, which have been showcased through Partnership-supported convenings. Both the Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Finance actively contribute to the governance of the Partnership, with regular participation in Steering Committee meetings and ongoing engagement in discussions
