Mauritius

Mauritius has evolved since independence in 1968 into a diversified upper middle-income economy, driven by industry, finance, tourism, and human development. Yet environmental pressures and climate vulnerability demand a resilient, resource-efficient path. The National Vision 2030, developed in 2015, charts this course toward a high-income, sustainable, and inclusive future along with a Three-Year Strategic Plan that mainstream inclusive green economy principles to meet the objectives of the vision. Some of the latest developments showing the country’s continued commitment to inclusive green economy include adopting the Circular Economy Roadmap (2023), passing the Waste Management Bill (2023), and a USD 6.6 billion 2024–25 national budget outlined for climate adaptation, renewable energy, and the blue economy. The signed UN Cooperation Framework 2024–28 reinforces these efforts, prioritizing resilience, sustainability, innovation, and inclusion across food, water, energy, and gender equality.

Mauritius’s green economic transformation has been advanced through strong collaboration across national counterparts, including the Ministry of Social Integration, Social Security and National Solidarity, the Ministry of Civil Service and Administrative Reforms, the Ministry of Environment, Solid Waste Management and Climate Change, the Ministry of Finance and Economic Development, the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Consumer Protection, the Ministry of Agro-Industry and Food Security, the Ministry of Education and Human Resources, the Ministry of Labour, the Ministry of Tourism, the National Production and Competitiveness Council, and the Civil Service College of Mauritius.
