NAMA-Program

The project prepared the first nationally appropriate mitigation actions (NAMAs) in Mexico in the key sectors of construction/refurbishment of residential buildings, energy efficiency in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and freight traffic. They were earmarked for broad-scale implementation with international co-financing. The project partners set up a NAMA coordination office in Mexico to effectively advise the local authorities. In this way, the project supported Mexican partner institutions, such as the environmental, energy, and transport ministries and the national housing commission, in developing strategies and financing mechanisms, setting up measuring, reporting, and verification (MRV) systems, as well as developing the necessary capacity for implementing NAMAs.

State of implementation/results

Project completed.
Advisory services for the Mexican Government in developing and preparing NAMAs for the construction sector (existing and new buildings), energy efficiency in SMEs and transport/freight have commenced
'Supported NAMA for Sustainable Housing in Mexico - Mitigation Actions and Financing Packages' guidelines presented during the 17th Conference of the Parties (COP 17) in Durban
Provision of support in developing viable mechanisms for national and international financing of the developed NAMA proposals has begun
Methodological and institutional groundwork for monitoring impacts (MRV system) are in preparation; the project supported the creation of the MRV system for the NAMA on buildings (external), among other things
NAMA on housing construction - NAMA on housing refurbishment
- Presentation of the 'Supported NAMA for energy efficient new housing in Mexico - mitigation actions and financing packages' guidelines during the 17th Conference of the Parties (COP 17) in Durban.
- Launch of the NAMA developed as part of this project for energy efficiency in social housing construction in the framework of the German-British BMUB-DECC NAMA Facility at the 18th Conference of the Parties (COP 17) in Doha.
