Climate Change Displaces Over 20,000 in Tunisia
The Tunisian Forum for Economic and Social Rights states that over 20,000 Tunisians have been forced to migrate internally between 2013 and 2023 due to climate change, such as droughts, floods, and coastal erosion. It has called for the enactment of a law recognizing the status of "environmental migrant" to guarantee the rights of those affected and to provide legal and social protections. The forum also recommended the development of national legislation, improved coordination between institutions, and the establishment of a national authority and a statistical office to monitor climate phenomena. The study emphasizes that the current conditions lack a clear legal framework at both the international and national levels to protect those displaced by climate change.
