Net Zero Initiative Framework
Based on "triple counting" approach driven by private sector players:
Induced Emissions
Emissions from company activities (Scope 1, 2 & 3) to be reduced to levels compatible with 1.5°C trajectory
Avoided Emissions
Emissions not produced by other economic players due to company financing or assistance
Negative Emissions
Emissions absorbed through creation of new carbon sinks financed by the company

Carbon Offset & Certification Programs
If all Mauritian companies commit to carbon neutral strategies, they would need to reduce CO₂ emissions by 6% annually from 2020 to achieve the 2030 target of -45%. The estimated carbon offset budget for Mauritian companies in 2020 was approximately USD 45 million (0.3% of GDP).
