Les dimensions géostratégiques, économiques et les impacts écologiques ont une importance croissante dans l’élaboration du nouvel ordre énergétique mondial impliquant une redéfinition des besoins et des modes de production et de consommation et par conséquent, une redéfinition de la carte du paysage énergétique actuel en modifiant la répartition géographique des disponibilités énergétiques. Par conséquent, les dynamiques économiques qui en découlent modifient les rapports de force à l’échelle mondiale et affectent également les recompositions politiques à l’intérieur des États comme à l’échelle des espaces régionaux. Ainsi, le passage d’un système s’appuyant sur l’usage massif des énergies fossiles génératrices de pollution à un autre faisant recours à l’utilisation des énergies renouvelables, et plus particulièrement, l’énergie solaire, plus respectueuses de l’environnement, pourrait constituer un partenariat économique, social et environnemental très solide pour approcher les deux rives de la méditerranée sur un thème singulièrement d’actualité.Pour mettre en évidence cette nouvelle configuration, la Tunisie servira d’exemple à notre réflexion en la matière qui nous permettra de rendre manifeste ce nouveau partenariat énergétique qui se réalisera conjointement selon deux échelles : locale et régionale. The geostrategic dimensions, economic and ecological impacts have a growing importance in the development of the new order of global energy involving a redefinition of the needs and modes of production and consumption and therefore, a redefinition of the map of the energy landscape in current amending the geographical distribution of energy supply. Therefore, the dynamic economic resulting there from shall amend the reports of force on a global scale and also affect the redials policies to the inside of the States as to the scale of the regional spaces. As well, the passage of a system based on the massive use of fossil energy generators of pollution to another making recourse to the use of renewable energies, and more particularly, solar energy, more respectful of the environment, could constitute an economic partnership, social, and environmental very solid for approaching the two shores of the Mediterranean on a singularly topical subject.To highlight this new configuration, Tunisia will serve as an example to our thinking on the matter which will allow us to make manifest this new energy partnership that will be realized jointly according to two scales: local and regional.

Dans cet article nous discutons de la dimension territoriale de l’économie circulaire et de son caractère soutenable. Dans un premier temps nous montrons comment les approches de l’EC et du développement territorial, largement étrangères au départ, se sont rapprochées et tendent à s’hybrider. Dans un second temps nous nous posons la question de la validité d’une approche circulaire au niveau des territoires, et surtout de son caractère vertueux, ainsi que de son degré de soutenabilité. In this article, we discuss the territorial dimension of CE and its sustainability. First, we show how approaches to CE and territorial development, which were largely independent, have come closer together and tend to hybridize. Secondly, we question the validity of a circular approach at the territorial level, and above all its virtuous character, as well as its degree of sustainability.

Climate change, adaptation and sustainable development are inextricably linked. These issues haunt the developing world Parties to the multilateral environmental agreements, who are trying hard to implement policies and plans within their national jurisdictions. These policies are required to be linked with overall economic growth and development objectives. With limited technical workforce and financial capacity, the developing world is facing a grave challenge of attaining inclusive growth and sustainable development, besides developing resilience to climate change. A parallel stream of activities for these three objectives is not the solution for poor countries. Some countries are already on the path of establishing linkages among climate change, development and sustainability activities. However, while grappling with these issues, most are still stuck at different levels of governance. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) have timelines until 2030. At least 60% of the NDCs, mostly those of the developing countries, contain an adaptation component which is closely linked to sustainable development. Convergence of NDC and SDG goals at the national level will assist in financing NDCs through SDG funds for achieving both mitigation and adaptation goals. The paper discusses barriers to good governance around these issues and opportunities available to link them at the national level. This includes improvement of knowledge base, and mainstreaming finance for both, adaptation and sustainable development, besides serving national needs. The trick is to include adaptation and sustainability into the developmental planning. Journal d’Economie, de Management, d’Environnement et de Droit, Vol 3, No 1 (2020)
