Since 2008, Climate Action Reserve has worked closely with actors across Mexico – including government agencies, NGOs, and ejido communities – to develop protocols that generate high quality offsets and comply with the Reserve’s rigorous standards, while further aligning those protocols with the laws, norms, and on the ground conditions in Mexico. The Mexico Forest Protocol was developed in partnership with these stakeholders as an instrument to channel resources into the forest sector in Mexico, especially as 70% of all forests in Mexico are on communally owned lands. For the second time around, we are thrilled to feature Director of Latin America Amy Kessler as she reviews the recently updated Mexico Forest Protocol and its ability to incentivize activities that increase sequestration and long-term carbon storage, while further providing greater environmental and social benefits to ejidos. Amy also discusses what has made the Reserve’s collaborative work in Mexico successful and what the near-term future holds.
