422. Government has placed climate change high on its agenda and is fully committed to put Mauritius on the track of sustainable development by promoting a low carbon economy pathway as well as building resilience against the growing threats of climate change.

It is noteworthy that to date Mauritius has invested significant amount of its resources in both adaptation and mitigation measures, despite its limited means. According to a recent study published in 2018 by the UNDP and the Ministry of Finance and Economic development, entitled “Tracking Public Sector Environment Expenditure (TPSEE)”, Mauritius has invested up to 2.15% of its GDP annually, that is, roughly MUR 10.3 billion (which include grant funding) representing 77% on adaptation and 23 % on mitigation measures. 424. Mauritius is also party to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, the Paris Agreement, the Kyoto Protocol, the Sendai Framework as well as the SIDS Accelerated Modalities of Action (S.A.M.O.A) Pathway. Mauritius is doing its fair share to implement recommendations of these international agreements with the development of several national as well as sectoral strategies and action plans.
