Tunisia country climate and development report – an emergency for the future but who to deal with?  

The World Bank’s Tunisia Country Climate and Development Report paints an ominous picture for Tunisia if the country fails to manage the risks arising from climate change, writes Dhafer Saidane. The Tunisia Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) from the World Bank has just been released on the eve of COP28. In a rather alarmist tone, the 80 pages take us away from the image of beautiful Tunisia, the one anchored in the collective imagination. The tone is dry and uncompromising. Climate change is impacting us inexorably.
