Between December 17, 2010 and January 14, 2011, hundreds of thousands of Tunisians took to the streets of Tunisia to protest against poverty, lack of basic freedoms and opportunities under Ben Ali’s government. Consequently, after a month of public unrest and on the eve of January 14, 2011, the Tunisian president Zine Alabidine Ben Ali left power and fled the country. This peaceful democratic revolution has marked the beginning of a new era for Tunisia as well as for other Arab countries as it inspired other Arab populations to move and create what came to be known as ‘The Arab Spring’.

Dr. Karve is actively involved in national and international organisations working in the field of renewable energy, equitable sustainable development, climate resilience, etc. Over the years she has successfully led numerous short term funded projects based on scientific and technological research, technology dissemination and commercialisation, third party assessments, and policy advocacy.
