Our objective is to facilitate access to information and promote the engagement of Tunisian companies in the transition towards a decarbonized economy. Through this platform, we aim to strengthen partnerships with businesses by providing them with decision-making tools and relevant information aligned with international and national requirements, with a focus on European standards, particularly the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).
The platform is designed to:
- Enhance understanding of decarbonization regulations.
- Provide practical tools and knowledge to help businesses calculate their carbon footprint and make data-driven decisions.

The NDC: The updated Tunisian NDC foresees a 45% reduction in carbon intensity compared to 2010 levels by 2030, which would avoid approximately 88 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent over the entire period, requiring a total investment of around 19 billion USD. 72% of the target comes from the energy sector, which requires an investment of about 11.5 billion USD.
Tunisia demonstrates a clear political will: the country's political commitment is materialized by an appropriate institutional framework, a coherent legal framework, and financing mechanisms backed by a dedicated energy transition fund, ensuring the sustainability of actions and programming.
Within the national context, Tunisian companies contribute 70% to the NDC targets and 71% of the investments planned in the NDC for mitigation are to be mobilized by/for the private sector. This contribution amounts to 75% in the mitigation objectives of the energy sector. At the same time, Tunisia has developed a favorable regulatory and incentive framework to promote energy efficiency and renewable energies, as well as a wide range of services, equipment, and financing to enable a more cost-effective low-carbon transition. Tunisia also commits to supporting Tunisian exporters in meeting international requirements, particularly with regard to compliance with transparency requirements through carbon accounting.
