Greenpeace warns of rising climate risks in North Africa
Greenpeace Middle East and North Africa highlights the growing dangers posed by wildfires in Tunisia, Algeria, and Morocco, directly linked to the worsening climate crisis. The fires have resulted in the deaths of six people and damaged around 150 homes in Algeria over a 12-day period. Meanwhile, more than 240 hectares of forest were burned in Tunisia in July 2026, with over 35 fires recorded between June and July. The organization emphasizes that rising temperatures, nearly twice the global average, coupled with prolonged droughts, are making these fires more frequent and intense—a serious indicator of the worsening climate crisis in the region. It calls for urgent measures to reduce emissions, invest in adaptation and prevention, and hold international actors accountable, as these extreme weather events have become part of a recurring pattern threatening security and sustainability.
