Mexico's Directorate-General for Climate Action Policies confirms its alignment with the LAC Common Position on Climate Change and Health, detailing how its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) 3.0 integrates health as a cross-cutting issue across adaptation, mitigation, and loss and damage components.

• Mexico's NDC 3.0 identifies climate change as a significant health risk, particularly for the approximately 38.5 million people living in multidimensional poverty who face barriers to public health services.
• The adaptation component of Mexico's NDC 3.0 includes three axes related to the health-climate nexus: one focused on monitoring and controlling public health issues exacerbated by climate change, one on productive systems and food security (addressing pesticide exposure), and one on protecting strategic health infrastructure from extreme weather.
• Mexico's strategy for climate-resilient health systems includes developing an action plan, strengthening research networks, increasing the capacities of the National Epidemiological Surveillance System, and creating local early warning systems.
• Within the loss and damage framework, Mexico prioritizes health in rehabilitation, recuperation, reconstruction, and relocation programs, while implementing social security mechanisms to ensure health service access for those most affected by climate impacts.
• Mexico's climate action incorporates a gender and human rights-based approach to ensure health service access for vulnerable groups, including women, indigenous people, afrodescendant communities, children, youth, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ populations, and older persons.
