GHG Emissions in Tunisia.

The United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change published a document showing all sources of GHG for all countries. Basically the document states that – for Tunisia in 1994 – total GHG emissions by sector are distributed as follow: - Industrial Processes 11.3% - Agriculture 23.9% - Waste 4.1% - Energy 60.7% and total GHG by gas is distributed as follow - CO2: 68.0% - CH4 15.0% - N2O 17.0% Car idling is one of the major sources of CO2 emissions at the consumer level. The increasing number of cars is also another major factor. Consumers should adopt a more “sustainable” way to move in the city using public transportation. Equiterre (Canada) proposes a wide variety of “cocktails” that help limiting negative impacts on the Environment.

Public transportation use being probably the most viable solution to reduce GHG, I would like our readers to tell us what they think about the public transportation system in the capital, Tunis or any other tunisian city and suggest ideas to make the system more efficient.
