Mexico's Climate Leadership

Mexico's newly sworn-in president, Claudia Scheinbaum, brings a significant focus on climate change and renewable energy to her administration. As a climate scientist, she has proposed a substantial investment of $14 billion to help the country transition towards renewable sources. This investment comes at a crucial time when Hurricane Milton has raised concerns about the country's vulnerability to climate-related disasters. However, skepticism exists regarding whether Scheinbaum can galvanize genuine support for effective climate policies, as past politicians have struggled to engage the public meaningfully on this issue.
