Justification

The transformations of ecosystems, societies and rural territories caused by climate change and globalization can exacerbate competition between uses and generate conflicts over land and certain limited natural resources or with high added value potential.

These issues appear particularly prominent in the current Tunisian context, marked by major socio-political upheavals since the 2011 revolution, plagued by strong economic inequalities and "short-termist" logics of natural resource management and facing a significant climate threat to certain crucial resources (water, soil and biodiversity in particular).

To address these challenges, the Tunisian Ministry of Agriculture, Water Resources and Fisheries is piloting the Climate Change Adaptation Programme for Vulnerable Territories (PACTE) in six vulnerable rural areas in central and northern Tunisia.
