Description
Description | The Mexican City Pact is an agreement signed between city majors in the framework of the World Mayors Summit on Climate on 21 November 2010 in Mexico City. The purpose was to take sound actions in climate change mitigation and adaptation, which would enable to build a platform of cities and subnational governments to access directly to the international finance of regional, national and multilateral character. |

Objectives | With the signature of the MCP, the mayors and the representatives of the local authorities commit to the following:
- Voluntarily reduce their GHG emissions. - Adopt and implement local measures of climate mitigation. - The development of local strategies for adaptation. - Registry the climate commitments, measures and actions (MRV). - Spur the creation of mechanisms for direct access to the international funding for the local climate actions. - To establish the Secretariat of the MCP. - To promote the civil society inclusion in the fight against climate change. - Search of alliances with multilateral institutions and national governments for the local climate actions. - Promote alliances and cooperation among cities. - Disseminate the message of the MCP. |

1. Energy; 2. Transportation and Mobility; 3.Water; 4.Carbon Finance; 5.Soil use/Zoning; 6.Urban development; 7.Public policy; 8.Biodiversity; 9. Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions; 10.Wastes; 11.Education; 12.Health; 13.Studies, Plans and Inventories; 14.Agriculture By signing the GCCC, the signatories agree to enter their climate actions in the Carbonn Cities Climate Registry and to submit their official documentation as a part of a regular reporting system on their greenhouse gas reduction commitments, on the performance of their GHG emissions and their portfolio of mitigation and adaptation actions through the online infrastructure of Carbonn. |
