A tree planting campaign was recently organized in the Qibili region of Tunisia, specifically in the municipalities of Bishli, Jarsin, and Bleidat. This initiative was undertaken by the Local Climate Action Group in these municipalities as part of the "Inclusive and Comprehensive Local Climate Action in Tunisian Municipalities" (ACICT) project. The project is overseen by the International Center for Local Development and Good Governance.

The tree planting drive was a citizen-led initiative aimed at promoting environmental conservation and mitigating the impacts of climate change. The event saw the participation of local residents and stakeholders who came together to plant trees in the region. This campaign is part of a larger effort to raise awareness about climate change and encourage community-led actions to address this global challenge.
