++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++ MEXICO: NAFTA PARTNER MEMBER OF OECD NON -ANNEX I / DEVELOPING COUNTRY 54% OF POPULATION BELOW POVERTY LINE MEXICO IS HIGHLY VULNERABLE TO CLIMATE – RELATED DISASTERS

++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++ Mexico: climate change action Mexico was the first large (100 Million inhabitants), oil exporting country to ratify the Kyoto Protocol: Approval from ALL parties at Senate session April 29th 2000 Open to discussions on the evolution of commitments Federal Government´s Committee on Climate Change (1997) CC committees in Advisory Councils on Sustainable Development Activities implemented jointly: ILUMEX, Scolel-té projects Climate change included as a priority for publicly funded research 1996 GHG Inventories (1990, 1994, 1996, 1998) Two complete National Communications to UNFCCC

++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++ Mexico´s energy sector Energy: a constitutional State monopoly 40% of public investment to energy projects 5 th oil producing country Oil exports: 1.7 M barrels/day Oil taxation: 37% of all federal revenues

6
++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++ Mexico’s GHG Emissions Net CO 2 emissions (mid 1990´s): 2% world´s total Mexico: the largest emitter in Latin America & the Caribbean CO 2 from fuel combustion: 3.4 tons/ per capita (1/5 USA) Carbon intensity (fuel comb.): 0.47 kg CO 2 / USD 90 ppp

++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++ Mitigation costs
10
++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++ Land cover control Expansion and consolidation of protected areas Sustainable wildlife programs Forest management programs Reforestation As of 2000, ¼ of the area with original vegetation (70% of the land) benefits from one of those programs Still threatened: rainforests

++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++ Emissions by GWh (thermal) have been decreasing. In 2002, natural gas accounted for 22.3 % of the total fuel combustion; while in 1990 it was of 16.1 %.

Acumulated avoided CO 2 amounted to 4.5 million tons between 1991 and 2000. Source: SENER, 2002
13
++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++ Institutional efforts I Energy saving institutions: CONAE (1989), FIDE (1990) Conae - Technical Norms: 674G Wh saved and 1000 MW avoided in 2000. - Daylight saving time: 6329 GWh saved and 863 MW avoided since 1996. FIDE - Energy saving programs: 1866 GWH saved and 525 MW avoided till 1999. Mexico City develops its own climate change strategy
14
++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++ Institutional efforts II PEMEX (State-owned oil/gas company) is the first oil company in a developing country to establish an internal emissions trading system (cap & trade for CO 2 ) PEMEX reduced 5% its own energy consumption Source: SENER, 2002

++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++ Energy intensity In the last decade, energy intensity of the Mexican economy is decreasing Kilojoules / peso (GDP) Source: SENER, 2002

++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++ Decoupling emissions / GDP GDP, Internal Supply of energy, CO 2 emissions (energy sector) (1994 =100)GDP CO 2 emissions Internal Supply of energy 90 95 100 105 110 115 120 199419951996199719981999 SourceCO 2 Emissions from fuel combustion (2001) Source: IEA, CO 2 Emissions from fuel combustion (2001)
17
++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++ Mitigation results A plausible guess: Mitigation efforts have resulted in a 5 % reduction of GHG emissions below BAU Multiple ancillary benefits
18
++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++ Mitigation potential POTENTIAL 2010 262 M tons CO 2 73%: Management of temperate forests 131 M tons CO 2 53%: Combined cycle power plants (natural gas) Source: 2nd Nat´l Communication
19
++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++ Conclusion The case of Mexico shows that: A large, oil exporting, developing country may: Build up institutional capacity Achieve mitigation results, based upon self- interest Support the Kyoto process as a State policy
