Tunisia

The 5th edition of the Convergences Tunisie 3ZÉRO Forum “Sustainability and social well-being at the heart of development” provided an opportunity to deepen the thinking behind the four previous Forums for a Tunisia with a growing and sustainable economy. This unique forum provided an opportunity to equip stakeholders by offering a series of conferences and debates enabling all participants to take ownership of the country’s development challenges, while breaking down the barriers between sectors to enable everyone to become a player in a Zero Carbon, Zero Exclusion, Zero Poverty Tunisia. The fifth edition of the Forum was held on 27 November 2023 at the Cité de la Culture, thanks to the work carried out by local working groups throughout 2023.
