The Mexican government, via the Instituto Nacional de Ecología, proposes three primary research lines for the IAI: integrated assessments of climate variability and its impacts on health, agriculture, tourism, and ecosystems; the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions in the energy and forestry sectors; and the study of co-benefits from reducing local and global emissions on human health and urban ecosystems.

• Mexico has participated in 33 of the 327 IAI research projects, focusing on climate variability, comparative studies of ecosystems (biodiversity, soil, and water), and the causes and human consequences of variability.
• The Mexican government identifies a need to shift research toward adaptation strategies that benefit vulnerable sectors through detailed economic, social, and vulnerability assessments in climate-sensitive areas.
• Proposed research on climate variability impacts includes health (vector-borne diseases), agriculture (water efficiency, resistant grains, and soil recovery), tourism (sea-level rise and saltwater intrusion), and forest ecosystems (biodiversity and productivity).
• Regarding emission mitigation, Mexico highlights that approximately 65% of its energy generation comes from fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, and coal), necessitating research into energy efficiency and renewable sources.
• Forestry research priorities include carbon capture potential, the use of bioenergetic plantations to benefit rural communities, and the implementation of the Kyoto Protocol's Clean Development Mechanism for afforestation and reforestation.
• The document emphasizes the need to study the co-benefits of reducing both local pollutants and global greenhouse gases, specifically focusing on the impact of mega-cities like Mexico City on regional climate and human health.
