Some observed impacts of climate change Average temperature is rising at a rate of 0.150C per decade
and has risen by 0.740C when compared to the 1961-90mean
Decreasing trend in annual rainfall of around 8% overMauritius since the 1950s.
Increase in the frequency of extreme weather events, heavyrains and storms
Intensification of cyclones
Sea level has been rising by around 3.5 mm/yr at Port Louisfrom tide gauge records at Trou Fanfaron over the last 5years.

Maurice Ile DurableObjective to make Mauritius a world model of sustainable
development, particularly in the context of Small Island Developing States.
the Government has set a target of 35 % renewable energy by year 2025
Process Six working groups comprising of relevant stakeholders
have been constituted to work out the 5Es of MID, i.e. Energy, Environment, Education, Employment and Equity.
Each WG constitute of 6 representatives from Local Authorities

Maurice Ile Durable
The objective of the Working Groups is to identify the means and ways of achieving the “Shared MID Vision” and come up with concrete recommendations in each theme which will feed in the process of formulation of the MID Policy, Strategy and Action Plan.

2nd Technology Needs Assessment
Aim
To bridge the gap between the mere identification ofappropriate technologies and the design of actionplans that would enable Mauritius to implementtechnologies that reduce GHG emissions and supportadaptation to climate change that are consistent withnational development priorities.
Status
TNA Coordinator recruited
Inception workshop tentatively scheduled for August2011

Regional capacity building for sustainable National GHG Inventory Management Systems
MoESD has recently agreed to UNFCCC Secretariats proposal to participate in a “Regional capacity building for sustainable National Greenhouse Gas Inventory Management Systems in Eastern and Southern Africa”.
A regional capacity building workshop on “was held from 7 to 9 March 2011 in collaboration with the UNFCCC Secretariat to kick-off the implementation of a wider 3-year time frame (2011 – 2013) project targeting at:
Improving the quality of national greenhouse gas inventories, Enhancing the capacity of countries within Eastern and Southern
Africa region to prepare their national inventories, Establishing a regional and international information exchange
network, and a sustainable inventory system.This project focuses on greenhouse gas inventories in the agriculture and Land Use, Land Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) sectors, including livestock, food/crops, sugar cane and forestry management.

Agriculture
A Food Security Fund has been set up to increase theresilience of Mauritius towards food self-sufficiencyand to face subsequent global food and feedcrunches by increasing production of foodstuff locallyand at the regional level by partnering withneighbouring countries. This will help to curtail theadverse effects of climate change.
