Mauritius aims to reduce overall GHG emissions by 40% in 2030 compared to the Business as Usual (BAU) scenario of around 6,900 ktCO2eq (including LULUCF) in 2030. The contribution by each sector to the 40% mitigation target in terms of avoided emissions (ktCO2eq) is as it follows:
Energy excluding transport: 2311 (Renewable Energy Roadmap for the Electricity Sector 2019, Government Programme 2020 -2024, Government Budget 2021 - 2022, Mauritius Renewable Energy Compact 2021)
Transport: 129 (combination of on-going government policies and Research Paper )
Waste: 313 (Waste Management Sector Review and GHG Emission Reduction Potential, 2021)
IPPU: 55 (Mauritius’ commitment under the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol)
From 2016 iNDC: 30% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030 compared to the BAU scenario (7 MtCO2e)
