Sommario/riassunto

Tunisia in a Changing Climate: Assessment and Actions for Increased Resilience and Development is part of the World Bank Studies series. These papers are published to communicate the results of the Bank's ongoing research and to stimulate public discussion.This book provides an assessment of climate risks, as well as opportunities and possible actions for addressing climate change, in Tunisia. It recognizes that the Tunisian revolution of January 14th, 2011, created significant change in the country, resulting in new challenges and opportunities for addressing further change. Following the revolution
