  • MISION To coordinate research on environmental
    issues, in order to provide data, ideas,
    proposals, and technical inputs for the
    decision-making, to support the environmental and
    natural resources management of Mexico.
  • Regarding Climate Change INE is in charge of
  • Developing and integrating the National
    Communications of Mexico to the UNFCCC
  • Up-dating of National Greenhouse Gas Inventories
  • Technical studies on GHG mitigation
  • Vulnerability assessments and adaptation options
    to CC.

MEXICOGeneral information
  • Location
  • The United Mexican States (the official name for
    Mexico) is located in the northern part of the
    American continent. The Mexican territory covers
    1.96 millions of km2
  • Climate
  • Because its geographic and topographic
    conditions, México has a wide variety of climatic
    regions, with several types of climate arid,
    semiarid, dry tropical, humid tropical, temperate
    and cold.

Precipitation Rainfall along the territorys
length and breadth is varied. Historically, the
national annual average precipitation was 773 mm
for the period from 1941 to 2004. Biodiversity Mex
ico is among the top five countries known as
megadiverse. The combined diversity of species
in Mexico represents approximately 12 of the
worlds total. Population In 2009 Mexico totaled
107.9 million people, of which 72.3 lived in
urban areas and 27.7 in rural areas. During
2007-2009 the countrys annual population growth
rate was 0.8.

Mexico and the UNFCCC
  • Mexico signed the UNFCCC in 1992 and it was
    ratified in 1993.
  • The Convention came into force for Mexico on
    March 21, 1994.
  • Mexico signed the Kyoto Protocol on June 9, 1998.
    The Mexican Senate approved the Kyoto Protocol
    on April 29, 2000.
  • The establishment of the Mexican Committee for
    GHG mitigation projects was on January 23, 2004.
  • The establishment of the Inter ministerial
    Climate Change Commission was on April 25, 2005.

NATIONAL STRATEGY ON CLIMATE CHANGE

Most important effects of climate change in Mexico
  1. Growing desertification in the Central and North
    regions of Mexico. Reduction of agricultural
    potential. Difficulties for water supply in
    several areas
  2. Flooding in coastal areas
  3. Increase of extreme hydro-meteorological events
  4. General effects in forest areas (forest
    degradation and increase in fires) and
    hydrological effects
  5. Loss of biodiversity
  6. Impacts on human health

8
Roadmap for Climate Change Policy in Mexico
  • Scientific research
  • Analysis of national circumstances
  • National greenhouse gases (GHG) inventory
  • GHG emissions, concentrations and impacts
    modeling, scenarios and projections
  • Vulnerability assessments to climate variability
    and extreme events
  • Public awareness strategies
  • Design and analysis of policies for GHG
    mitigation and adaptation to climate change
  • Policy implementation at national, regional and
    local scales, and at general or sector-specific
    levels

Interministrial Climate Change Commission
The Interministrial Climate Change Commission
(ICCC) was established to coordinate the actions
of the agencies and entities of the Mexican
Federal Government related to
  • the design and the implementation of national
    policies for preventing and mitigating greenhouse
    gas emissions
  • adapting to the effects of climate change and, in
    general
  • promoting the development of climate change
    action programs and strategies to reach the
    fulfillment of the commitments made by Mexico
    within the UNFCCC and other instruments derived
    from, particularly the Kyoto Protocol.

Climate Change
OBJECTIVE 11 Adaptation Strategy 11.1. To
promote the adoption of adaptation criteria in
the planning process. Strategy 11.2. To develop
regional climate scenarios. Strategy 11.3. To
evaluate the impacts, vulnerability and
adaptation of different socioeconomic sectors
and ecological systems. Strategy 11.4. To promote
the information diffusion of impacts,
vulnerability and adaptation measures to climate
change.
OBJECTIVE 10 GHG Mitigation. Strategy 10.1. To
promote energy efficiency and clean technologies
(including renewable) for energy
generation. Strategy 10.2. To promote the
efficient energy use in the domestic, industry,
agricultural and transportation sectors. Strategy
10.3. To promote the implementation of
international standards in the transportation
sector. Strategy 10.4. To promote energy recovery
in the waste sector.

The Special Program on Climate Change (PECC)
2008-2012
  • The PECC, sets the national strategy of climate
    change for the current Federal Administration.
  • It includes coordinated activities from all
    relevant sectors of the Federal Government, and
    also from other levels of government
    (particularly States and Municipalities) and from
    the private sector.
  • It sets quantitative mitigation and adaptation
    goals, as well as research objectives and the
    Mexican position on the international
    negotiations.
  • GOALS
  • In 2012 the mitigation goal is roughly 50
    MtCO2e (about 8 of total emissions).
  • For the period 2008-2012, twelve groups of
    measures account for 60-70 of the GHG
    potential.
  • For the long term (2050) Mexico aspires to reduce
    emissions by 50 in reference to year 2000.
  • In the period 2008-2012, the Mexican oil and gas
    industry will invest US 7,000 million.

INEGEI 2006 Conclusions
  • Mexicos GHG emissions (in equivalent of CO2)
    growth 40.3 from 1990 to 2006
  • Energy category prevails as the main emissions
    source of GHG, where the fossil fuel used in
    energy generation and transportation predominates
    as key sources
  • Improvements in energy efficiency and investments
    towards the use of cleaner technologies have
    improved the energy intensity (energy consumption
    by GDP) and emissions intensity (CO2 by GDP)
    between 1990 and 2006.
  • The GHG emissions growth rate in Mexico is lower
    than the growth rate of its economy
  • The results of the National GHG Inventory
    1990-2006 shows that there is evidence in Mexico
    of decoupling between economic growth and GHG
    emissions

22
GHG Inventory (Problems, lessons learned)
  • Problems
  • Lack of human resources
  • Availability of information (specially in
    LULUCF, waste)
  • Lack of local GHG emission factors
  • No experience with the 2006 IPCC guidance
    (availability of information)
  • Top- down vs. bottom up inventories
  • Lessons learned
  • Continuity of working groups is a successful
    way to build capacity (establishment of
    processes)
  • Essential the collaboration within the Inter
    ministerial Commission on Climate Change
  • Essential the collaboration with academia,
    research institutions, private sector, etc.
