Summer 2026, the hottest ever measured in Tunisia, is behind us — but not its effects: dams half full yet a network that loses almost a quarter of the water it produces, a million households on free solar against 9% renewables, a Mediterranean 98% in marine heatwave, and adaptation that is still not measured.
A heat index of 51 °C on the coast, nearly 1,000 fires and 12,100 hectares burned, water cuts despite fuller dams, the Gafsa aquifer depleted at 118%, and detainees dying in prison: the month Tunisia discovered, all at once, the limits of its climate risk governance.
Record heatwave (49.7 °C in Kairouan on 17 July), a “historic” blackout and an estimated 150 to 200 deaths: this issue decodes the first heatwave of summer 2026 and a siloed public response — with analysis, a key concept (heat dome vs urban heat island), reports and podcasts.
49 beaches closed to swimming, a national sanitation utility (ONAS) discharging wastewater into the sea, and Gabès under industrial pollution documented for fifty years: this issue decodes the three blind spots of Tunisian coastal governance.
Tunisia presents its revised nationally determined contribution and the UN adopts a landmark resolution on adaptation. This issue takes stock of climate finance, plastics and biodiversity.
Two months of climate records. A new thermal regime, deep drought and still insufficient adaptation. Tunisia in focus, analysis, selected resources.
