The permanent Mission of Mexico's climate Plan in a nutshell
GHG Reduction Objective by 2030 : - 30%
by implementing its climate action Plan, the permanent Mission of Mexico aims to reduce its overall GHG emissions (from 2022 levels) by 30%
ENERGY emissions reduction ā¤ 20%
Actions to be implemented by 2030: 4
FOOD emissions reduction ā¤ 50%
Actions to be implemented by 2030: 8
MOBILITY emissions reduction ā¤ 35%
Actions to be implemented by 2030: 4
Contribution to climate action
The Permanent Mission of Mexico is strongly committed to climate action and aims to reduce its emissions. By taking part in the 2050Today initiative, the Permanent Mission of Mexico intends to identify and implement solutions to reduce its impact on the environment, alongside the other institutions of international Geneva.
Footprint and emissions by scope
2050TodayāsĀ greenhouse gas (GHG)Ā emissions measurement methodology follows the GHG Protocol. The Protocol provides standards and guidance for organizations to measure and manage climate-warming emissions. It was created in 1998 through a partnership between the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD).
According to the GHG Protocol, the distribution of emissions is done by scopes:
Scope 1Ā represents direct emissions linked to the consumption of fossil fuels.
Scope 2Ā represents indirect emissions from the generation of purchased electricity, steam, heating and cooling consumed by the reporting company.
Scope 3Ā includes all other indirect emissions that occur in a companyās value chain (i.e. purchased good or services, business travel, employee commuting).
The 2050Today carbon footprint takes into account the reported emissions generated by the activities of the institution over one year and is divided by categories:
Energy and water
It takes into account the amount of the consumed electricity produced and purchased by the institution. The energy consumed to heat and/or cool the institutionās building area and the consumed water are included as well.
Mobility
It takes into consideration business travels and commuting (on a survey basis).
Food
The CO2 impact of food includes the catering of the institution and individual consumption (on a survey basis) during working hours.
Purchased goods
The perimeter of purchased goods is set to a list of new office equipment, new mobility equipment (vehicles) and construction materials.
Waste
The perimeter of the waste inventory is set to waste production from facilities and internal operations of the institution
It has to be noted that the collected data of the 2050Today members resulting in each carbon footprint are not yet fully standardized and might not be entirely complete.Ā Data collection is being progressively harmonized and improved. Therefore, direct comparisons between tCO2 / employee among institutions ā be it in general or per sector ā are not yet possible nor relevant.
To ensure the reliability,Ā the accuracy and a recurrent updating of the carbon footprint assessment,Ā 2050Today is advised by an international Carbon Footprint Scientific Committee.
