Tunisia has unveiled its updated Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC 3.0), setting a target to reduce the carbon intensity of its economy by 46.4 per cent by 2030 and by 62 per cent by 2035. The strategy was reviewed during a weekend seminar in Gammarth dedicated to advancing national climate policy implementation, reports

The renewed commitments place strong emphasis on accelerating the energy transition, with energy efficiency measures and large-scale renewable energy deployment forming key pillars of the roadmap. Renewable sources are expected to represent 50 per cent of the country’s electricity mix by 2035, reflecting Tunisia’s long-term shift towards a low-carbon energy system.
Under the updated framework, Tunisia also introduces for the first time an absolute reduction target of 34 per cent in net greenhouse gas emissions by 2035 compared with 2010 levels.
Adaptation measures account for 53 per cent of planned investments, while mitigation represents 47 per cent, highlighting a balanced approach to emissions reduction and climate resilience.
The strategy also defines quantified objectives across key areas such as water management, agriculture, food security, health, infrastructure, biodiversity, and cultural heritage, alongside cross-cutting priorities including capacity building and technology transfer.
NDC 3.0 builds on Tunisia’s earlier climate commitments submitted to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and reflects the country’s continued engagement in global climate action.
