Despite the good intentions of the international community to limit the temperature rise, a global average temperature increase of about 3.5 to 4°C is likely. The MENA (Middle East and North Africa) region is characterized as "hot spot": climate projections predict a temperature increase of 2°C over the next 15-20 years and of 4 to 6.5°C by the end of the 21st century with an increase of extreme weather events. In Tunisia, global warming is already observed: the average temperature has risen by 1.2°C between 2000 and 2008.
Recent strategies and studies carried out in Tunisia assessed that climate change will have impact on the main vulnerable sectors and ecosystems (agriculture, water resources, forests, human health, tourism) That's why we need to adapt to inevitable climate change. Several adaptation initiatives have been initiated in Tunisia in different sectors. The documentary film gives an overview on these efforts with statements of stakeholders at national, regional and local level.
