SNAP - SUPPORTING NATIONAL ACTION AND PLANNING ON SLCPs

Mexico has utilized the CCAC SNAP initiative to develop a strategic national plan for reducing short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs), specifically black carbon and methane. By leveraging tools like LEAP-IBC and coordinating through the National Institute of Ecology and Climate Change (INECC), Mexico integrated SLCP targets into its 2015 Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC), aiming for a 51% reduction in black carbon by 2030. Key sectoral actions include mandating EURO VI technology for new buses in Mexico City by 2018 and implementing clean cookstove and waste management projects in coastal wetland communities.

• Mexico was the first country to include specific black carbon targets within its Intended Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) and its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) strategy.
• In its 2015 INDC, Mexico committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 22% and black carbon emissions by 51% by the year 2030.
• The National Institute of Ecology and Climate Change (INECC) served as the focal point for the CCAC, coordinating the national planning process across government agencies and academic institutions using the LEAP-IBC tool to analyze 15 years of emission data.
• Mexico's legal framework for SLCPs began with the 2012 General Law on Climate Change, which led to a 'National Strategy' and a 'Special Programme on Climate Change' launched in 2014.
• Specific mitigation measures include a mandate for all new buses in Mexico City to use EURO VI technology starting in 2018, as well as projects to promote clean cookstoves and improve waste management in coastal wetland communities.
