Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) is an essential element of the global architecture to achieve the climate goals established in the Paris Agreement. Every five years, countries use the NDC as their primary tool to communicate, nationally as well as internationally, its plans and commitments for climate action, both in terms of reducing emissions and in terms of responding to climate risks through adaptation actions and measures to address loss and damage.

Mauritius has communicated an ambitious economy wide energy efficiency target of 10% by 2030, and needs to develop concrete implementation instruments for its achievement. Under the Energy Efficiency (Energy Consumer & Energy Audit) Regulations 2017, large energy consumers in the public and private sectors must commission a mandatory energy audit when notified by the Energy Efficiency Management Office in Mauritius. The government has also introduced a grant programme for the manufacturing sector offering 75% financing of audit costs.
