Third plenary meeting of the Paris agreement Article 6Partnership
March 19th, 2024

Tunisia National Determined contribution• Tunisia is a party of Paris agreement and was among the pioneers
who submitted an NDC on september 16, 2015 and updated it onoctober 2021.
• Increased ambition: reduction in carbon intensity by 45% (instead of41 %) in 2030 compared to 2010.
• Unconditionnal emissions reduction: 27% by 2030/2010,• Conditionnal emissions reductions: 18 % in 2030/2010

• Implementing the updated NDC requires mobilizing significant financial resources,
estimated at approximately US$19.4 billion from 2021-2030. These include US$14.4
billion for mitigation.
• 82 % of the financing needs stem from the energy sector (particularly capitalintensive sector).
• International support to be mobilized in order to fulfil conditional contribution
would amount to 11,1 Billion/USD over (2021-2030),• This support could be mobilized in different forms (concessional credits, grants,
carbon market mechanisms,,,)• Tunisia wishes to engage in the cooperative approaches in all sources eligible forarticle 6 mechanisms and more particularly in renewable energy field, but also
industrial processes, waste and waste water, agriculture, forestry and land use.

1. Promote the use of Article 6 (capacity building for key players,financial support framework for projects, negotiating bilateral agreements…)
2. Implement transparent regulations for emission reduction
ownership
3. Transparent indication of sources/activities which emission
reduction might be marketed through Art. 6 (relevant criteria relating toeligible projects and eligible national entities),
4. Withholding Mechanisms
5. Use of Withholdings (options regarding the use of the withholdings:
recycled into mitigation policies, provisions against the risk of nonachievement of the unconditional objective..)
6. Fiscal treatment of ITMOs’ revenues
7. Promotes the emergence of voluntary Market• Bilateral agreements signed under article 6 to date:• A Mémorandum of cooperation signed with Japan uneder the JCM(Joint crediting Mechanism): August 2022.
