The energy transition in Tunisia is gaining momentum as the country targets a 35% renewable energy share by 2030, emphasizing green growth through large-scale projects and green hydrogen initiatives. However, challenges such as financial limitations and capacity building hinder the shift from fossil fuels. This transition requires increased knowledge sharing and multilateral coordination to integrate just transition principles into national strategies.
The event will bring together diverse voices to discuss just transition pathways in Tunisia, focusing on energy justice, democratic participation, and community ownership in decentralized solutions. The top-down approach of current initiatives has sidelined marginalized groups, prompting calls for more inclusive strategies. The discussion will delve into existing governance structures, the role of civil society, and ongoing EU projects in Tunisia's energy transition.
Policymakers, civil society representatives, industry experts, academics, and marginalized community members will participate in the dialogue to provide insights on funding sources, consultation channels, and policy recommendations for a fair energy transition. The outcomes aim to formulate actionable policy recommendations and a governance model advocating for a just transition in Tunisia, benefiting all stakeholders involved in the energy sector.
