ObjecIve & Scope
The NaNonal Climate Change Strategy is the guiding instrument of the naNonal climate change policy, both in the medium and long-‐term, to face the impacts of climate change and to transiNon towards a compeNNve, sustainable low-‐carbon economy. As the guiding instrument and based on best available informaNon, it describes the strategic lines of acNon guiding policies of the three government levels. It also aims to encourage social parNcipaNon and co-‐responsibility. More broadly, the long-‐term climate strategy aims to address climate change along with naNonal prioriNes, and to contribute in building the Mexico we envision in the long-‐term.
The Strategy does not intend to define concrete short-‐term acIons or specific responsible federal insItuIons. At the federal level, the Special Climate Change Program will define, for each six-‐year term, the objecNves and specific acNons for miNgaNon and adaptaNon, as well as allocate human and financial resources to achieve these goals. State and Municipal Climate Change Programs at the local level will similarly describe specific plans of acNon for the short-‐term.

MiIgaIon
M1. Accelerate clean energy energy transiNon
M2. Energy efficiency and sustainable consumpNon
M3. Sustainable ciNes with mobility systems, integrated waste management, and low-‐carbon footprint buildings
M4. Sustainable agriculture and forestry to increase and preserve natural carbon sinks
M5. Reduce emissions of Short-‐Lived Climate Pollutants (SLCPs), with high co-‐benefits in health and well-‐being
1. Cross-‐cu\ng, arNculated, coordinated and inclusive climate policies and acNons 2. Develop climate specific fiscal policies and design market-‐based economic and financial instruments 3. Implement a pla]orm for research, innovaNon, development and adopNon of climate technologies, and strengthen insNtuNonal capaciNes 4. Promote the development of a climate culture 5. Implement mechanisms for Measurement, ReporNng, and VerificaNon (MRV) and Monitoring and EvaluaNon (M&E) 6. Strengthen strategic cooperaNon and internaNonal leadership

AdaptaNon goals
SOCIAL VULNERABILITY ECOYSTEMS BASED ADAPTATION STRATEGIC INFRASTRUCTURE
AND PRODUCTIVE SECTORS
Reduce by 50% the number of vulnerable municipaliIes or municipios (160 municipios) § Include a climate, gender and human rights approach in all of the territorial planning and risk management instruments
§ Increase financial resources for Disasters prevenNon vs. Disasters aDenNon
§ Establish regulaNons for land use in risky areas
§ Integrated watershed management to guarantee access to water
§ Ensure social parNcipaNon and training in social adaptaNon policy
Achieve a 0% deforestaIon rate in 2030
§ ReforestaNon of upper, mid and lower basins, taking into consideraNon the areas naNve species
§ Increase ecological connecNvity and carbon sequestraNon through conservaNon and restoraNon
§ Increase carbon sequestraNon and coastal protecNon through conservaNon of coastal ecosystems
§ REDD+ acNon synergies
• Ensure water management in its different purposes (agricultural, ecological, urban, industrial, domesNc)
Install early warning and risk management systems in all three government levels
§ Guarantee and monitor industrial and urban wastewater treatments in seDlements larger tan 500,000 inhabitants
§ Ensure strategic infrastructure security
• Include climate change criteria in agricultural and livestock programs
• Apply the specificaNon norm of environmental protecNon and adaptaNon in coastal touristy real estate developments
• Incorporate adaptaNon criteria in public investment projects that take into consideraNon construcNon and maintenance infrastructure

Modeling 2050 emissions projecIon
• Scenarios: – Business as usual. EvoluNon of the economy without imposing climate or clean energy policy constraints.
– NDC policy. ReducNon of 22% of economy-‐wide GHGs by 2030, and 51% of black carbon. For 2050, 50% reducIon of GHGs, compared to 2000 emissions. For assumpNons regarding the rest of the world, we consider that all countries deliver on their NDC and that by 2050, global miNgaNon reaches 50% below 2010 level. We also allowed for domesNc trading of GHGs. InternaNonal emissions trading was not simulated.
Modeling 2050 emissions projecIon
• Scenarios: – NDC more ambiIon. ReducNon of 36% of economy-‐wide GHGs in the economy by 2030, and 70% of black carbon. For 2050, the MCS goal simulated a trajectory aqer 2030 that reaches a 50% reducNon of GHGs, compared to 2000 emissions.
– This scenario has addiNonal constraints to simulate a minimum of 50% of clean electricity producIon by 2025, in line with Mexico’s energy transiNon law, and a 40% methane reducIon considering coordinated acNon in North America.
– For assumpNons regarding the rest of the world, same assumpNons as previous scenario were used.

• SEMARNAT and CICC will review the NaNonal Climate Change Strategy at least once every ten years regarding miNgaNon policy, and every six years regarding adaptaNon policy. Corresponding scenarios, projecNons, objecNves, and goals must then be updated, and deviaNons from previously stated projecNons must be explained.
• Based upon these reviews and the evaluaNons results conducted by the INECC’s CoordinaNon for EvaluaNon and the Climate Change Council, the NaNonal Climate Change Strategy might be updated. The Special Climate Change Program and the State Programs must be adjusted to consider these updates. Under no circumstance will the reviews and updates lessen the goals, projecNons, and objecNves previously stated.
• The CICC may propose and approve adjustments or modificaNons to scenarios, trajectories, acNons, or goals comprised in the NaNonal Strategy when:
• Mexico will resubmit its MCS to the UNFCCC, if as a result of the evaluaNon process new informaNon becomes available germane to the ConvenNon and the global stocktake referred in the Paris Agreement.
