    About this ebook

    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 recognizes 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.
