The Mexican government pledged on Friday to reduce greenhouse gas and compound emissions by 25 % by 2030, compared to the current scenario, a figure that could rise to 40 % if it receives international aid.
The Secretaries of the Environment and Natural Resources (Semarnat), Juan José Guerra, and of Foreign Affairs, José Antonio Meade, presented the country's climate change mitigation and adaptation commitments for the 2020-2030 period.
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) established that a new universal legal instrument will be adopted in December 2015 to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and compounds.
"Mexico is the first developing country to present its tentative contribution" in this field, Meade stressed at the presentation."
Following the announcement, Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto and his U.S. counterpart Barack Obama reaffirmed their commitment to address global climate change, which they considered one of the greatest threats facing humanity.
