Mexico CCAC Partner since 2012 Breadcrumb Home Our Partners Mexico ONGOING CCAC SUPPORT PORTFOLIO3 PROJECTSMexico’s current CCAC portfolio includes three projects supporting action on super pollutants. COUNTRY ACTION ACCELERATOR PROGRAMMEUSD5MThe Accelerator provides dedicated support to advance country-led implementation across priority super pollutant areas TOTAL ESTIMATED CCAC ENGAGEMENTUSD5.748MEstimated total CCAC engagement in Mexico, including current and planned support. At a glance Mexico is a founding partner of the CCAC and joined the inaugural cohort of the Super Pollutant Country Action Accelerator in 2025. As one of the world’s largest methane emitters, Mexico has built a strong legal and policy foundation for super pollutant action, including binding SLCP commitments under its General Law on Climate Change and ambitious NDC targets to reduce methane and black carbon emissions by 2030. Through the Accelerator, Mexico is moving from planning to implementation by strengthening institutional capacity, MRV systems, and investment-ready mitigation pipelines. The programme focuses on livestock, organic waste diversion, and integrated urban air quality management, while supporting whole-of-government coordination and finance mobilization for scalable climate, clean air and public health benefits. Image Trajectory What the Accelerator will achieve Strengthened MRV systems The Accelerator supports monitoring, reporting and verification systems that enable transparent tracking of methane and black carbon reductions across waste, agriculture and urban air quality sectors. Enhanced federal–subnational coordination The programme supports better translation of national strategies into on-the-ground implementation across federal, state and local levels. Operationalization of national strategies The Accelerator helps turn Mexico’s SLCP Strategy, Methane Roadmap and NDC implementation plan into concrete policies, demonstration pilots, regulatory strengthening and scalable investment pipelines. Mobilization of domestic and international finance The programme supports finance mobilization to embed super pollutant mitigation into long-term sectoral programmes. Priority areas: Waste sector methane mitigation Low-emission livestock and agriculture Integrated urban air quality management Team on the groundThe Country Action Accelerator team will work closely and technically with INECC, under the political leadership of SEMARNAT. The senior coordinator, inter-ministerial coordinator and coordinator for scaling up projects will work with the Director General for Climate Policy at SEMARNAT, ensuring alignment with national policies related to NDC implementation. Technical team profiles, including the technical specialist on super pollutants, strategic planning officer, quality assurance and MRV officer, and air quality and health officer, will work directly with the Director General of the National Institute of Ecology and Climate Change, who serves as Mexico’s focal point for CCAC activities. 01SENIOR COORDINATORSupports overall coordination of the Accelerator team and alignment with national implementation priorities. 02INTER-MINISTERIAL COORDINATORSupports coordination across ministries and government institutions. 03COORDINATOR FOR SCALING UP PROJECTSSupports the development and scaling of priority mitigation projects. 04TECHNICAL SPECIALIST ON SUPER POLLUTANTSProvides technical support on methane, black carbon and other super pollutant mitigation measures. 05STRATEGIC PLANNING OFFICERSupports planning, implementation pathways and alignment with national strategies. 06QUALITY ASSURANCE AND MRV OFFICERSupports data quality, MRV systems and tracking of mitigation outcomes. 07AIR QUALITY AND HEALTH OFFICERSupports integration of air quality and health co-benefits into the Accelerator’s work. Key policies and programmes General Law on Climate Change Mexico’s General Law on Climate Change provides a legal basis for national climate action and makes super pollutant action a binding obligation. National Strategy to Reduce Short-Lived Climate Pollutants Mexico’s SLCP strategy provides a national framework for reducing short-lived climate pollutants and achieving air quality and climate benefits. Nationally Determined Contribution Mexico’s NDC includes commitments to reduce methane emissions by 30% and black carbon emissions by 51% by 2030. Methane Roadmap Mexico is developing a methane roadmap to support concrete action across priority sectors. Oil and gas methane regulations Mexico has developed federal regulations to reduce methane emissions from the oil and gas sector, including measures related to venting and emissions control. PROAIRE and urban air quality programmes City-level air quality programmes, including PROAIRE, provide a foundation for integrated urban air quality management and public health benefits. videos & testimonials Mexico: reducing pollutants that contribute to air pollution and climate change Former Environment Secretary, VÃctor Manuel Toledo, explains why Mexico is reducing short-lived climate pollutant emissions to address air pollution and climate change.
