Tunisia in a Changing Climate: Assessment and Actions for Increased Resilience and Development (World Bank Study)

by Dorte Verner (Author)

Synopsis

Tunisia in a Changing Climate: Assessment and Actions for Increased Resilience and Development is part of the World Bank Studies series. These papers are published to communicate the results of the Bank's ongoing research and to stimulate public discussion.

This book provides an assessment of climate risks, as well as opportunities and possible actions for addressing climate change, in Tunisia. It recognises that the Tunisian revolution of January 14th, 2011, created significant change in the country, resulting in new challenges and opportunities for addressing further change. Following the revolution, improvements in access to information, institutional capacity, and accountability have enhanced the governance and transparency that are essential for effective climate change responses. However, political uncertainty has affected both foreign direct investment and tourism, which have further impacted already high rates of poverty and unemployment.
