As a SIDS, Mauritius is highly vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate 
change. These have triggered the focus of my studies which is about, 
‘Formulation of a framework for enhancing governance of adaptation to the 
adverse impacts of climate change and disaster risk reduction in the Republic 
of Mauritius’. In the first step of my studies, together with my two 
supervisors, we carried out a systematic literature review of papers published 
between 1992 and 2023, on climate governance in SIDS. It revealed that the 
governance of climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction is 
relatively weak in SIDS.  Analysis of the barriers and enablers unveils the 
contours of a proposed three-tiered governance framework: Tier 1 comprises 
three key pillars: Policy Planning, Institutional Arrangements, and Laws and 
Regulations; Tier 2, the principles of transparency, accountability, equity, 
legitimacy and subsidiarity. The core pillars and the principles are nested 
within a broader Tier 3 comprising democratic processes (rule of law), 
religious and cultural values, and political commitment.
