- Publication 9 June 2025 Towards implementing urban Nature-based Solutions in Zambia and Mauritius Climate change and rapid urbanization are central challenges to sustainable development in cities of low and middle-income countries. Nature-based Solutions can address these challenges and offer environmental and social benefits over traditional engineered solutions, and in practice co-exist and positively complement engineered solutions. However, the uptake of NbS in urban planning remains limited and implementation faces several barriers. The need to create enabling environments that…
- Publication 9 June 2025 Towards Implementing Nature-Based Solutions in Mauritius The challenges of climate change and rapid urbanization present central obstacles to sustainable development in cities of low- and middle-income countries. Urban Nature-based Solutions (NbS) receive growing attention as potential remedies for these challenges because they offer environmental and social co-benefits in comparison to conventional grey or engineered solutions. In practice, NbS co-exist and positively complement conventional grey or engineered solutions. Pluvial flooding, flash…
- News 17 February 2025 UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre launches groundbreaking energy efficiency initiative in Mauritius The UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre, in collaboration with the Energy Efficiency Management Office (EEMO) of the Ministry of Energy in Mauritius has initiated the first stages of the De-risking Facility for Energy Performance Contracting project, aimed at overcoming financial barriers to energy efficiency investments through energy performance contracting in Mauritius. Designed in 2023 through the GEF funded project Nationally Appropriate Mitigation Actions for Low Carbon Island Development…
- Project 7 February 2025 Mitigation Action Facility – Detailed Preparation Phase 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…
