2. General Law on Climate Change
Approved on April 19, 2012
Published on June 6, 2012
In force from October 10, 2012

3. Objectives of the Law
• Low-carbon development
Moving towards a competitive, sustainable and low-carbon
emissions economy
• Resilient Mexico
Reduce vulnerability of people and ecosystems from adverse effects
of climate change.
• Inclusive National Climate Change Policy
Ensure coordination and mainstreaming among all levels of
government and agencies of the Federal Government, with
transparency and responsible participation of society.

6. MEXICO’S INDC
• Submitted on March 27th to the UNFCCC -first developing
country-.
• Includes mitigation of Greenhouse Gases and Black Carbon,
as well as adaptation actions for 2020 - 2030
• Commitment with a Conditional and an Unconditional
component, strictly aligned to the objectives and priorities
established in the General Climate Change Law [2012]
• Economy-wide, Business As Usual scenario, based on an
updated inventory for 2013 with a bottom-up approach

9. HIGHLIGHTS
This INDC implies that MEXICO will reach a net emissions peak
starting in 2026. Emissions intensity per unit of GDP will reduce by
around 40%
ADAPTATION commitment with these priorities
to increase resilient capacity of communities
to increment in the resilience of strategic infrastructure and of the
ecosystems that host national biodiversity [ecosystem-based adaptation]
In order to achieve rapid and cost efficient mitigation robust global market
based mechanisms are essential.
Achieving our conditional goal will require functional bilateral, regional and
international market mechanisms.
For the first time Mexico translates previous aspirational commitments
(GCCL) into mandatory goals

10. CHALLENGES
• To detail the actions that support our INDC [sectoral approach,
cost analysis, etc.]
• To develop the Mitigation-Reporting-Verification (MRV)
framework
• To strengthen policies and measures that support economy-wide
actions
Carbon tax
Phase-out subsidies
Carbon pricing
• To define finance, technology transfer and capacity building
support measures
