"In few area does Mexicab President Claudia Sheinbaum face more contradictions than in addressing climate change. She is trained as an environmental scientist a path that led her to participate in a Nobel Prize yet champions an energy sovereignty plan that places hydrocarbons at its core. While empowering her Secretary of Environment to position herself as a regional leader, Sheinbaum allocates nine out of every 10 pesos of the budget intended to mitigate climate change"
"The 20252023 National Environmental Restoration Program was presented in June 2025. It identifies 78 priority sites to begin environmental restoration processes in 2025 and 2026, with ambitious targets for 2030 such as restoring 30% of degraded coastal ecosystems, recovering 100,000 hectares of forest, cleaning priority river basins in Tula, Lerma-Santiago, Atoyac, and Rio Sonora, and the Endho and El Zapotillo dams."
Claudia Sheinbaum combines environmental training and participation in high-level scientific work with an energy sovereignty agenda that centers hydrocarbons. Budget allocations direct nine out of every ten pesos earmarked for climate mitigation toward megaprojects like the Tren Maya and the Secretariat of National Defense. The administration inherited a weak starting point after predecessor policies canceled renewables and strained relations with environmental groups. Mexico remains highly vulnerable to climate change. Early policies included a restoration program and water concession agreements. The 20252023 National Environmental Restoration Program sets 78 priority sites and 2030 targets for coastal, forest, and river-basin recovery.
