Mexico City Reduces Green House Gas Emissions by the Millions


Mexico City is making improvements in leaps and bounds, with its Green Plan, implemented in 2008, aiming to make Mexico City a sustainable city in the next 15 years. Not only has the plan already reduced GHG by 5.7 million metric tons, but is the basis for making investments in transportation, energy and water conservation, solid waste management, and air quality, among other initiatives.

"Over the past four years, we have made significant progress toward becoming one of the world's most sustainable cities by promoting environmental stewardship not only in our government operations but also by encouraging widespread business and citizen participation," said Marcelo Ebrard, Mexico City's current mayor.
