Summary
An official statement from Mexico's Directorate-General for Climate Action Policies confirming the country's support for the Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) Common Position on Climate Change and Health for COP30, detailing how health is integrated into Mexico's Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) 3.0.
Key insights
- Mexico's Nationally Determined Contribution (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 document notes that loss and damage specifically impact the physical and mental health of communities in vulnerable territories.
- The adaptation component of the NDC 3.0 addresses the health-climate nexus through three axes: one focused on human populations and territories (including a strategy for monitoring and controlling public health issues), one on productive systems and food security (addressing pesticide exposure and sustainable agrifood systems), and one on the protection of strategic infrastructure, including health systems.
- Mexico plans to strengthen health system resilience through specific measures including the development of an action plan, the strengthening of health and climate research networks, increasing the capacity of the National Epidemiological Surveillance System, and creating local early warning systems for climate-related health risks.
- The NDC 3.0 incorporates health into its loss and damage and mitigation components. For loss and damage, health is central to rehabilitation, reconstruction, relocation, and public communication of risks. For mitigation, the document highlights the health cobenefits resulting from the accelerated reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
- Mexico has officially signed on to the LAC Common Position on Climate Change and Health for COP30, advocating for the human rights to health and a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment.
