Resumen
Descripción
The World Bank Group’s Country Climate and Development Reports (CCDRs) are a core diagnostic that integrates climate change and development. They help countries prioritize the most impactful actions that can reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and boost adaptation and resilience, while delivering on broader development goals. CCDRs build on data and rigorous research and identify main pathways to reduce GHG emissions and climate vulnerabilities, including the costs and challenges as well as benefits and opportunities from doing so. The reports suggest concrete, priority actions to support the low-carbon, resilient transition. As public documents, CCDRs aim to inform governments, citizens, the private sector and development partners and enable engagements with the development and climate agenda. CCDRs feed into other core Bank Group diagnostics, country engagements and operations, and help attract funding and direct financing for high-impact climate action.

The Mauritius Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) provides analysis and recommendations on how Mauritius can achieve sustained development while responding to climate change. Mauritius is arguably Africa’s best development success story - transitioning from a low-income sugar producer to an upper-middle-income, relatively-diversified economy in a single generation. But the country has reached the limits of its current state-led development model, with bold reform required to catalyze a new round of private-sector led economic transformation and reduce the high level of public debt. As a small island developing state (SIDS) of 1.3 million people, it is also highly exposed to shocks, including increased climate variability and change. Despite these challenges, Mauritius aims to regain its high-income status, which it briefly achieved in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic hit the economy. Achieving this goal will require a more inclusive, diversified, and productive economy. This report finds that adapting to a changing climate offers opportunities to boost growth, jobs, and development outcomes, while also reducing climate risks and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Grasping these opportunities will require actions to address rising sea level and temperature, and more frequent heatwaves, droughts, intense cyclones, flash floods, and storm surges - all of which threaten two pillars of the economy (tourism and fisheries), as well as most key infrastructure and the one-third of the population that is concentrated in coastal areas.
