GGGI Mexico - Innovation for Climate Technologies

For Mexico to achieve environmentally sustainable economic growth, it is critical that it strengthen national its capacity for the development, manufacturing and deployment of clean energy and other green technologies, and reduce its reliance on the import of technology and know-how. GGGI is partnering with Mexico’s National Institute of Ecology and Climate Change (INECC) to help achieve these goals through the Innovation for Climate Technologies project, which is:

• Evaluating the climate risks of key sectors of the economy at the municipal level and identifying the most vulnerable municipalities
• Mapping Mexico’s innovation ecosystem in climate Technologies
• Identifying technologies with the highest potential to mitigate GHG emissions and deliver economic growth opportunities
• Developing a strategic framework for the appraisal of technologies and the design of inclusive policies at the national and regional level to strengthen innovation in climate technologies

The overall objectives of this project are to identify the climate technologies that could help Mexico achieve its GHG mitigations objectives and the subcomponents were innovation can play a catalytic role for their development and deployment and establish a strategic framework to develop policy and investment recommendations on innovations in climate technologies to catalyze green growth.
