Environment, Sustainable Development, Memorandum of Understanding, Italy and Tunisia

The Italian Ministry of the Environment and the Ministry of Agriculture, Agricultural Resources and Fisheries of the Tunisian Republic yesterday signed a Memorandum of Understanding for cooperation in the field of Sustainable Development in Rome.

According to the Protocol, Italy and Tunisia commit themselves to contribute to the objectives of emission reduction and adaptation to climate change set by the Tunisian Government (Nationally Determined Contributions – NDCs) through projects in the sectors of agriculture, fisheries, water resources and ecosystems .

The Protocol is the most recent stage in a long collaboration between the Italian Ministry of the Environment and the Tunisian institutions which, in February 2017, led to the signing of another Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Energy, Mining and Renewable Energy and, over more than ten years, to the realization of numerous projects in the water and renewable energy sectors.
