With the purpose of working to confront and mitigate the severe consequences of the environmental impact of human activities, the United Nations Conference on Climate Change has the mission of working with governments and other actors to address this problem. Therefore, the participating nations are committed to contributing to stopping global warming. In this sense, Mexico at COP27—which is taking place in Egypt—has announced ambitious contributions. According to the Secretary of the Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat), María Luisa Albores González, an attempt will be made to raise the Nationally Determined Contribution ( NDC) from 22% to 30% , which represents "the efforts to reduce national emissions and to adapt to the effects of climate change”, this being a fundamental part of the Paris Agreement. However, Mexico's intentions at COP27 could not be so strong, since with a low commitment to renewable energies and the construction of public works with a high cost for ecosystems, they would remain with more promises, like those made by others. developing countries.
The history of Mexico at COP27 and other editions Since 1992, when the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change ( UNFCCC ) was formed, created to "establish the bases for joint internationalaction regarding mitigation and adaptation to climate change", whose highest decision-making body is the COP, Mexico adhered to this. It even hosted COP16, held in Cancun, which shows that it has Belgium Email List remained active in this space for environmental debate and negotiation. One of the strongest participations was during COP21 in Paris, in which the representative group was led by then-president Enrique Peña Nieto, and in which Mexico committed to : Reduce black carbon emissions by 51% by 2030. Reduce Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by 22%, in an unconditional manner, that is, with own resources, by 2030. Increase the adaptive capacity of the population in the face of climate change. Reduce the high vulnerability to its effects in 160 municipalities. Reach zero deforestation rate by .
Generate early warning systems for extreme weather events. The above represented the NCD of our country, which should increase over time, but in 2020, the year in which an update was made , Mexico only reaffirmed its commitment to the goals described above. Because of this, the Climate Action Tracker (CAT) described the national NCD as highly insufficient, which means that what it contributes is not consistent with keeping global warming limited. With this panorama, the fact that Mexico at COP27 is promising to increase the attention and numbers of certain parameters of its NCD may seem contradictory and simply an accumulation of intentions that move away from actions. In this edition of the COP, Mexico plans to go for more As reported by Aristegui Noticias , Mexico at COP27 has presented a proposal in which it will increase its NCD, going from reducing its GHG emissions from 22% to 30%, this through financing and its own measures. In addition to setting a conditional goal that will increase from 36% to 40%, this in favor of cushioning climate impacts on vulnerable communities.
