- News 28 October 2024 Advancing Energy Efficiency in Mauritius: A Collaborative Effort for Sustainable Urban Development As a Small Island Developing State, Mauritius is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change and faces significant energy challenges due to its dependence on imported fossil fuels. Recognizing the urgent need for sustainable solutions, the Mauritian government outlined ambitious energy efficiency targets in its 2021-2022 budget, aiming to reduce energy consumption by 10% by 2030. In support of these national goals, the UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre, in collaboration with the…
- News 24 October 2024 Nations must close huge emissions gap in new climate pledges and deliver immediate action, or 1.5°C lost Nations must collectively commit to cut 42 per cent off annual greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 and 57 per cent by 2035 in the next round of Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) – and back this up with rapid action – or the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C goal will be gone within a few years, according to a new UN Environment Programme (UNEP) report. Updated NDCs are to be submitted early next year ahead of the COP30 climate talks in Brazil. UNEP’s Emissions Gap Report 2024: No more hot air ……
