Tunisia has implemented a national strategy for the green economy, to identify possibilities for the development of economic activity in a sustainable way. The areas of focus are organic farming, eco-tourism, sustainable transport and infrastructure, sustainable eco-buildings, green industries, communication and information technologies, energy efficiency and energy use, renewable water conservation and water reuse, and finally, integrated waste treatment management. With these strategies, Tunisia hopes to stimulate economic growth and create jobs for citizens. Four principles are prioritised: the development of strong and inclusive growth, reduction of the current sensitivity of natural resources, adoption of integrated, decentralised and participatory governance, and promotion of citizens’ quality of life.
