Workshop to exchange views on possible elements to be considered in the future revision of the UNFCCC “Guidelines for the preparation of national communications from Parties not included in Annex I to the Convention” Mexico Fourth National Communication to the United Framework Convention on Climate Change. M. Sc. Israel Laguna 21–23 March 2011 St. Mary’s, Antigua and Barbuda PRESENTATION OUTLINE • National Institute of Ecology (1) • Mexico: General information (1) • Mexico and Climate Change (9) • National GHG Inventory 1990-2006 (7) What is the National Institute of Ecology (INE)? INE is a decentralized body of the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT); it was created in 1993 and reorganized in 2001. PROFEPA CONANP CONABIO 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. • Support the realization of the Climate Change Actions Programs at state level • Focal Point to the IPCC • Support the international negotiations INE CONAGUA CONAFOR IMTA 5 General directions: 300 employee. Environmental economy and politics Urban and regional pollution Ecosystem conservation Research national center and environmental training Coordination of the Climate Change Program MEXICO General 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 territory’s length and breadth is varied. Historically, the national annual average precipitation was 773 mm for the period from 1941 to 2004. Biodiversity Mexico is among the top five countries known as “megadiverse”. The combined diversity of species in Mexico represents approximately 12% of the world’s 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 country’s 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. 1992 1993 1994 1997 1998 2000 2001 2003 2004 3rd National Communication 2nd National Communication 1st National Communication Interministerial Commission on Climate Change Ratifica el Protocolo de Kioto Firma el Protocolo de Kioto UNFCCC Ratification of the UNFCCCC UNFCCC Activities of Mexico 2006 2007 NATIONAL STRATEGY ON CLIMATE CHANGE 2009 4th National Communication Most important effects of climate change in Mexico 1.

Eje 4. Environmental Suistanability 4.6 Climate Change OBJECTIVE 10 GHG Mitigation. OBJECTIVE 11 Adaptation Strategy 10.1. To promote energy efficiency and clean technologies (including renewable) for energy generation. Strategy 11.1. To promote the adoption of adaptation criteria in the planning process. 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. http://pnd.presidencia.gob.mx/ Strategy 11.2. scenarios. To develop regional climate 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. 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. http://www.semarnat.gob.mx/queessemarnat/cambioclimatico/Pages/estrategia.aspx Mexico’s Fourth National Communication I.
