In September 2021, the secretariat of the Montevideo Programme V received two technical legal assistance requests from a stakeholder from the private sector in Mauritius for assistance to make a positive impact by applying the cradle-to-cradle philosophy circular business model, and assistance to prepare carbon emissions reports for different stages of the supply chain associated with a cement plant. Further information was requested by the secretariat to clarify the nature and scope of the requests, but the requests did not proceed because they were not in line with the objectives of the Montevideo Environmental Law Programme.
