Mexico's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC): 2020-2030 Update

Mexico's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), updated in 2020, constitutes the country's commitment to the Paris Agreement to reduce its Greenhouse Gas emissions and adapt to climate change during the 2020-2030 period. The document reaffirms and strengthens the commitments made in 2015, establishing unconditional targets to reduce GHG emissions by 22% and black carbon by 51% by 2030 compared to the business-as-usual scenario, as well as conditional targets of up to 36% for GHG and 70% for black carbon. The NDC includes a robust adaptation component with 5 strategic axes and 27 lines of action, and integrates cross-cutting approaches on human rights, gender, and intergenerational equity, recognizing the differentiated vulnerability to climate change.
