SEMARNAT PECC 203-208 SECRETARÍA DE MEDIO AMBIENTE Y RECURSOS NATURALES SPECIAL CLIMATE CHANGE PROGRAM The Mexican Government has finished the six year Climate Change Program (PECC) for this Administration. To be published in April 204: Defines targets and specific actions the public administration will carry out to achieve the 30% GHG reduction goal Allocates responsible agencies for the fulfillment of each goal Contains budget estimates for each action line Has an MRV system Will be reviewed every two years by INECC Has been elaborated with gender perspective to ensure gender equity
PECC s OBJECTIVES To minimize vulnerability of society and productive sectors, increasing their resilience and the resistance of strategic infrastructure To conserve, restore and manage ecosystems in a sustainable way to ensure their environmental services for climate change mitigation and adaptation To reduce GHG emissions to transition to a competitive and sustainable low carbon emissions economy To reduce short lived climate pollutants emissions, promoting health and welfare related benefits To strengthen a national climate change policy through effective instruments and coordination with state and city governments, the Congress and society
