In line with Mauritius’ commitment to achieving a sustainable and low-carbon future, as outlined in the “Long-Term Low Emission Development Strategy” by the Ministry of Environment, Solid Waste Management, and Climate Change, the Government aims to reduce the country’s dependency on fossil fuels and meet its renewable energy target of 60% by 2030. Key sectors such as solar, wind, and biomass energy are expected to see rapid growth, presenting a wide range of opportunities for employment and innovation.
A Diploma in Climate Change and Renewable Technologies empowers graduates with specialized skills in the rapidly evolving fields of climate science and renewable energy. Graduates will gain expertise in designing, implementing, and managing sustainable energy systems, as well as in developing climate adaptation and mitigation strategies. They will have hands-on experience with advanced technologies and practical applications, enabling them to contribute effectively to reducing carbon footprints and enhancing climate resilience. Additionally, their understanding of policy frameworks and economic considerations positions them as valuable contributors to the global transition towards sustainability.
