Tunisie Telegraph: Lessons from Summer 2026 Crises
The summer of 2026 in Tunisia is considered one of the most difficult seasons, as simultaneous crises such as record-breaking heatwaves, pressure on the electricity grid, water supply disruptions, and wildfires have revealed the deterioration of the state's and society's resilience in the face of increasing climate change. Expert Hamdi Hachem emphasizes the need to shift from crisis management to a proactive model based on early warning systems and weather forecasts, as well as redesigning infrastructure to withstand the new climatic conditions. He also highlights the importance of diversifying service sources such as energy and water to avoid points of failure and the necessity of maintaining service delivery during crises, while accounting for the economic costs of outages and supporting civil protection systems. He affirms that national security now includes climate security, energy, and water, and that investing in prevention is less costly than dealing with damages. Building a societal framework where the efforts of the state, citizens, and the private sector are interconnected to enhance resistance and adaptation to future challenges is essential. He concludes that the lessons learned from 2026 show that climate change has become a daily test of Tunisia's ability to protect its citizens and sustain its economy.
