The Ministry of Health is contributing to Mauritania’s climate action to achieve the objectives set out in the nationally determined contribution through the implementation of a vision for the development of a climate-resilient, sustainable and low-carbon health system in Mauritania. To achieve this, the Ministry is facing a fundamental obstacle linked to the unavailability of data on the greenhouse gas emissions of the public health system, enabling it to develop a decarbonisation plan with the aim of achieving the vision set. The Mauritanian Ministry of Health has requested support from the Climate Action Africa project to provide technical assistance in understanding the sector’s emissions landscape and laying the foundations for a plan to decarbonise the sector.
