About the Webinar
Under the Paris Agreement, Mexico committed to reduce 22% of its Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by 2030. Both the General Law on Climate Change and the Energy Transition Law refer to the need to control GHG emissions through market mechanisms.
Emissions trading systems are an important and vital tool for meeting national and international emission reduction commitments. To date, 55 jurisdictions, together representing 40% of global GDP, have emissions trading systems in place, including cities such as California, and countries such as China, South Korea, New Zealand, Switzerland and the European Union. Most of these trading systems began with pilot phases to orient participating companies on how they work and identify areas of opportunity to improve their processes and reduce emissions in a cost-efficient manner.
This webinar will present the policy framework and basic principles of the Emissions Trading System Market Exercise, developed jointly by SEMARNAT and the MEXICO2 platform, with the aim of building capacity in companies for the establishment of an emissions trading system in Mexico.
The webinar will be conducted in Spanish. If you have any questions about this event, please contact the LEDS LAC Platform Secretariat at info@ledslac.org.
