Abstract

This chapter examines the link between economic growth and carbon dioxide emissions in Tunisia and explores the multiple impacts on key sectors such as agriculture, energy, health, and tourism. Using a robust analytical framework consisting of the LMDI-II decomposition method, the Kaya identity, and the Tapio decoupling model, the study analyzes CO2 emission trends in Tunisia from 1980 to 2021. It identifies the main drivers of these emissions and provides insights into the complex relationship between demographic growth, energy consumption and economic activities. The chapter highlights several challenges linked to climate change and aims to provide a deeper understanding of how Tunisia can balance environmental needs with economic development, and ultimately propose targeted strategies and policy recommendations for sustainable growth and effective emissions reduction.
