In December 2023, Tunisia and Switzerland signed an agreement on joint climate action under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. The cooperation under the bilateral climate agreement and Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement involves various ministries in Tunisia and requires general knowledge on the issuance of mitigation outcomes, achieved with financial support from the KliK Foundation and used to achieve Switzerland's nationally determined contribution under the Paris Agreement.

The KliK Foundation wishes to develop additional activities to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Tunisia. In partnership with the Tunisian Ministry of the Environment and the Swiss Embassy in Tunisia, it is organising an ceremony and a workshop to launch the call for projects for interested stakeholders.

Launch of the Tunisian-Swiss commitment for joint climate action in Tunisia under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement and presentation of the activities of the KliK Foundation to financially support greenhouse gas mitigation in Tunisia.

During the workshop, participants will be introduced to activities of the KliK Foundation, and in particular to:

• The Swiss approach and the bilateral climate agreement;

• The mandate and objectives of the KliK Foundation;

• An overview of the activities in preparation and activity types of interest;

• The KliK website with focus on Tunisia;

• The application process (Climate Action Wheel).

Participants will learn about the Article 6 framework for Tunisia, thanks to the UGPO-CC, and in particular with the following aspects:

• Legal basis;

• Eligibility criteria and priorities;

• Procedures and requirements for granting an authorisation.

Refreshments will be served after the event (12:00-12:30).
