SUBJECT: TUNISIA: CLIMATE CHANGE NEXT STEPS
REF: STATE 3080
On January 15, ECON/ESTH Officer delivered the points on the
need to endorse the Copenhagen Accord (reftel) to Tunisian
Ministry of Foreign Affairs officers Hatem Landoulsi and
Mourad Belhassan. ECON/ESTH Officer flagged the January 31
response deadline and urged Tunisia to promptly associate
itself with the Copenhagen Accord. While they believed the
MFA could move on its own to respond to the question of
associating Tunisia with the Accord, Landoulsi and Belhassan
said that a response on Tunisia's climate change targets and
actions would require significant inter-agency coordination
and doubted they could achieve this before January 31.
