Mexico committed during the visit of the United States climate advisor, John Kerry, to maintain its pre-existing climate commitments at the COP. That is, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 22% and carbon emissions by 51%. In addition to setting more ambitious goals for 2022, according to Reuter .
However, the Mexican government did not indicate what these objectives would be or how it would achieve them. What he did assure was that he would work closely with the US to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy in Mexico, that is, wind, solar, geothermal and hydroelectric energy. This strengthens the commitments under the Paris Agreement, which consists of limiting the average increase in global temperature to 2 °C compared to pre-industrial levels.
"I insist on not setting objectives that correspond to other governments, but rather begin to increase our goal, our commitment as a country, and try to accelerate the pace."
Marcelo Ebrard, Secretary of Foreign Affairs of Mexico.
The US claims Mexico
However, recent news mentions that the US claims Mexico The US calls out Mexico for undermining the fight against climate change; AMLO responds… under a T-MEC regional trade agreement. This is because it is considered that there are Mexican energy policies that limit competition, harm US companies and obstruct the fight against climate change . Andrés Manuel López Obrador, president of Mexico, has responded ironically: "he has us very worried."
Mexico and climate change
Mexico is the second largest emitter of greenhouse gases in Latin America. So it has had to face criticism for its current policies.
In this regard, Climate Action Tracker , a research Cell Phone Number List coalition, noted that the country's current policies put it on a path to "increase" rather than decrease emissions. That is, they are not at all consistent with the Paris Agreements.
Let us remember that, within the environmental policy of the Mexican government, the head of the federal executive has opted for a characteristic tree planting program as one of the "most important reforestation projects in the world." In addition to this, he would add efforts in hydroelectric projects, in addition to targeting financing in the "green economy."

However, the recent request for the start of consultations by the US government regarding the energy policy of current President López Obrador, and its response, has created a climate of uncertainty about Mexico's climate objectives.
During his government, the Tabasco politician committed to reviving the parastatal Petróleos Mexicanos (PEMEX) and the Federal Electricity Commission (CFE). Furthermore, he said that his predecessors deliberately “destroyed” it to leave the market in the hands of foreigners.
Given the situation, the US claims to Mexico that these measures have made it increasingly difficult for US energy companies to do business in Mexico. They noted that PEMEX and CFE enjoy favorable treatments, including prices, emission standards and contract terms.
Likewise, officials from the Office of the United States Trade Representative stated that these practices appear to violate the T-MEC trade agreement. This agreement, established between Mexico, the United States and Canada, which came into force two years ago, prohibits countries from adopting policies that discriminate against others and requires them to reduce the use of state-owned companies.
