Assessing sustainable development benefits of Mexico’s climate commitments

The Mexican Government recently commissioned a study on the co-benefits of the implementation of Mexico’s NDCs for the achievement of the SDGs/Agenda 2030. The study identified a set of economic, social and environmental benefits that can be harvested across multiple sectors through the effective integration of the climate and SDG agendas. To further strengthen the case for this integration, this project, supported by the GIZ and implemented in cooperation with local Mexican partners, will quantify the impact of climate action on a selection of six key development areas. We will identify appropriate methodologies and apply them to available data. Ultimately, the project aims to garner cross and inter-sectoral support for the effective and ambitious implementation of both the SDGs and the NDCs agendas.
