Municipal Climate Action Plans (PACMUN)

PACMUN
ACTIVITY INFORMATION
What we are doing

According to national law, each Mexican municipality is required to have their own policy on climate change, a task that can be daunting for many under-resourced local governments. However, an effective climate policy and action plan can do more than simply fulfill this requirement, it allows municipalities to focus on mitigation and adaptation efforts that best serve their communities and bring additional benefits at the local level.

What we are achieving

Over the course of the PACMUN project, ICLEI has worked with over 450 Mexican municipalities to develop GHG inventories, collect data and define local climate action plans. Project activities focus on building the capacity of municipal staff to establish goals and prioritize actions on climate and resilience. Municipalities also work with ICLEI to report their climate and data and can voluntarily submit their climate action plans to the Ministry of Environment.
