Ministry of Environment

Location

Ken Lee Tower
Cnr Barracks & St Georges Streets Port-Louis
Mauritius

The aim of my Ministry is to help Mauritius achieve environmental sustainability in the long term through continued innovation and vibrant partnerships and collaboration with all stakeholders. We have a clear and an ambitious goal for Mauritius:

to enable our Republic to attain the highest level of environmental quality as a means to enhance the quality of life of Mauritians, preserve our natural environment and advance our competitiveness

We need to better understand the challenges before us if we want to achieve our vision of a country where all stakeholders make responsible decisions about the environment for the benefit of present and future generations. This website is part of Government’s commitment to inform Mauritians about its environmental policies, activities and the state of our environment. Disseminating information to the public is very important in this era of globalisation and this website is a step forward in providing the knowledge to fulfill our vision. It will assist in environmental education and better decision making by everyone. It will also enable people to have a better understanding and appreciation of the multi-faceted nature of the Ministry of Environment and NDU.

I encourage you to provide your views on this website, which will help us to shape it in the future so that it better supports our progress towards sustainability.
