“…The number of CDM projects provides one proxy of climate action at this stage. A total of 192 Mexican projects are registered under the CDM and they are expected to mitigate 283.9 MtCO 2 e by 2030 72 ; a significant 42% of 2015 emissions 73 . A third of the projects were registered under the VFQ's administration, 52% under FCH's and 15% under that of EPN's.…”

The systemic and governmental agendas in presidential attention to climate change in Mexico 1994–2018

Ambitious climate action requires sustained long-term attention from political leaders. To understand how climate change entered the political agenda in a developing country, we examine from an agenda-setting perspective the attention paid by Mexican presidents to this issue from 1994 to 2018. We perform a longitudinal analysis of 968 documents referring to climate change published by four presidencies to describe changes in attention levels over time and to determine how changes in international agreements and public policies (i.e. systemic agenda) and National Development Plans (NDPs)(i.e. governmental agenda) influence them. Our results indicate international agreements and national legislation establish a baseline for inclusion of climate change into governmental actions. Agenda changes driven by international agreements result in reactive changes in attention, while ambitious approaches are aligned with proactive NDPs. Our results also indicate public awareness and electoral periods can open windows of opportunity for reframing agendas and promoting ambitious climate action.

“…The main objective of our first model-based simulation is to evaluate the potential impact of the CDM projects registered for Mexico – that is, projects that have been validated since 2005 by the CDM Executive Board supervising the Kyoto Protocol's CDM. Data from the CDM pipeline (Fenhann, 2013), supplemented by data from the UNFCCC (2012) about the type, location, amount and stage of completion of each project, confirm the importance of these investments (table 2). As of April 2013, 171 registered projects represented US$11,532.1 million (nearly 1.25 per cent of Mexico's GDP).…”

“…The CDM has enjoyed great success since its introduction in November 2004. As of April 2013, 6,600 CDM projects had been registered worldwide, for a total investment of approximately US$215.4 billion (UNFCCC, 2012; Fenhann, 2013). However, despite extensive studies of the CDM in economic literature, mainly to assess the costs of climate policy, its impact on the development of host countries remains insufficiently explored.…”

Since 2000, the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) under the Kyoto Protocol has included southern countries in the fight against climate change by encouraging northern countries to make environmentally friendly direct investments at the lowest cost in these developing nations. Although CDM investments have enjoyed great success, the question of the contribution of these investments to the development of the host countries remains insufficiently explored. This paper offers a computable general equilibrium model-based scenario, describing the potential economic and environmental impacts of CDM investments for Mexico. As modelled in this study, these investments should generate both additional demand for activities that produce the fixed capital goods required for their implementation and environmentally friendly technological changes in the production process for the electricity sector. The numerical simulations reveal the growth potential and important fund of development represented by the CDM for Mexico; however, they show that the environmental impact also appears broadly mixed and dependent on both the nature of the sectors it affects and the intensity of the technological change it generates.
