The Mediterranean Renewable Energy Center (MEDREC), a partner in the SEACAP4SDG project, organized a public event on the theme “Green and Efficient Cities for a Sustainable Mediterranean” in Tunis on March 8, 2023.

The event brought together approximately sixty participants, including project partners, representatives of the ENI CBC MED program, the EU Delegation to Tunisia, national authorities, and government stakeholders involved in sustainable development in Tunisia, including the Ministry of the Environment, the Ministry of Economy and Planning, the National Agency for Energy Management (ANME), Tunisian municipalities, and Tunisian civil society.

The event aimed to disseminate the results of the support mechanism proposed by the project for Mediterranean municipalities to plan and implement energy-saving measures in public buildings, and to capitalize on best practices from cooperation projects in the Mediterranean. It was also an opportunity to present the experience of Tunisian municipalities in the implementation of energy-climate action plans.

A roundtable discussion “Towards Green and Sustainable Tunisian Cities” was organized, with the participation of national authorities and Tunisian municipalities, to discuss opportunities, public initiatives, strategies, policies, and civil society involvement in promoting green and sustainable cities in Tunisia.
