Description: Mauritius has made significant steps towards a greener economy with the new government agenda aiming to further drive this transition. Mauritius has been a beacon for other Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in terms of sustainable development. In the last decade, Mauritius has been investing in renewable energy, clean waste management technologies and in public transport infrastructure. The new government programme, ‘Achieving Meaningful Change’, has ambitious targets in the area of green economy (GE) - from generating 35 per cent of electricity from renewable energy to large increases in recycling rates (GoM, 2015).
