rowing concern so as to bring effective solutions. Presently, one particular tool known as carbon footprint calculator, is available to help in measuring an individual's annual carbon emission, and consequently help in keeping track and reducing the amount of carbon emitted through daily activities. Prior research has indicated that the measurement of individual carbon emissions helps people to be more environmentally conscious of their actions and to adopt a low-carbon lifestyle. Furthermore, even though the tertiary education sector is a key player for inculcating environmentally sustainable practices among its human resources along with promulgating carbon mitigation awareness to other stakeholders and sectors of the island, there exists no carbon management framework being adopted by employees of the same sector. There is also no indication whether such tool is being used by employees so as to reduce their carbon emissions to promote a greener Mauritius. As such, this research project aims to develop a carbon management framework to assess, reduce and sensitize employees within tertiary education institutions in Mauritius, after measuring their carbon emissions via the use of existing calculators. To meet the aim of the project, 440 employees within different tertiary education institutions in Mauritius were sensitised on how to reduce their personal carbon emissions via the use of flyers. Furthermore, the carbon footprint data of the same participating employees was collected in order to create a baseline for employee carbon emission in the tertiary education sector. Based on results obtained, the carbon management framework was created.
