FINANCIAMIENTO CLIMÁTICO EN MÉXICO: ESTADO DE SITUACIÓN, RETOS Y SUGERENCIAS PARA SU MEJORA.

El financiamiento climático en México es un componente esencial para la transición hacia una economía baja en carbono y resiliente al cambio climático. En el contexto actual, caracterizado por un aumento en los eventos climáticos extremos y la urgencia de actuar de manera cada vez más decidida, el acceso a financiamiento suficiente y efectivo es clave para poder cumplir tanto con las metas nacionales trazadas, como con los compromisos internacionales. El financiamiento climático de esta índole permite no solo reducir las emisiones de efecto invernadero y proteger los ecosistemas, sino también fortalecer la resiliencia de comunidades vulnerables y fomentar un desarrollo incluyente y sostenible. Actualmente, sin embargo, se enfrentan retos significativos en cuanto al acceso, distribución y eficacia. 
Este documento analiza brevemente el estado actual del financiamiento climático en México, identifica retos y plantea sugerencias para mejorar su disponibilidad e implementación.

Call for applications of experts to contribute science advice in Latin America and the Caribbean

The Regional Focal Point for Latin America and the Caribbean of International Science Council (ISC RFP-LAC) is seeking applications of experts to contribute to a pilot project on science advice in the LAC region. The ISC RFP-LAC is engaging with ParlAmericas, the institution that promotes parliamentary diplomacy and cooperative political dialogue, facilitates the exchange of good legislative practices, and produces tailored resources to support parliamentarians in their work in the inter-American system. Composed of the 35 national legislatures in North, Central and South America, and the Caribbean, ParlAmericas provides parliamentarians with knowledge resources informed by evidence-based research on climate change and field-based, context-driven learning, while also promoting gender-responsive and open decision-making.
This pilot collaboration aims to provide parliamentarians from ParlAmericas with unbiased, evidence-based guidance on emerging scientific and technological developments, with a focus on specific areas of regional concern. Experts from the ISC community will contribute through virtual sessions to the presentation and discussion of scientific evidence that serves to expand the understanding of the topics that are of interest to the parliamentarians, and at the same time allows the development of scientific advisory skills in the scientific community of the LAC region.

Areas of focus
  • Current status and future projections around climate change and eco systems in Argentina (for example: preservation of glaciers and the periglacial environment; native forests; solid waste and water management)
  • The role that artificial intelligence can play in circular economy.
  • Water management under climate change (including, for example: water harvesting and utilization of rainwater; use of the waste of producers, cold chain, perimeter or public markets and supermarkets in all their phases and possible different areas; policy-making regarding the reuse of waste)
  • How to integrate scientific evidence with traditional knowledge to strengthen the environmental and collective rights of Indigenous Peoples.
