Chambers Global Practice Guides - Climate Change Regulation 2025

Our Environmental and Social Impact team, consisting of partner Brenda Rogel and associates Estuardo Anaya, Ana Paulina Arenas, and Javier Camacho Piedra, developed the Mexico chapter of Chambers’ Climate Change Regulation 2025 Guide.
 
In the Law & Practice section, our experts provide a detailed overview of Mexico’s climate change legal and policy framework, including international and national commitments, mitigation and adaptation strategies, carbon markets, ESG reporting obligations, and incentives for sustainable investments. 
 
The Trends & Developments section contains an analysis of the key regulatory developments that will transform environmental compliance and ESG strategies in Mexico, including:

  1. Mandatory sustainability disclosure framework: from 2025, entities reporting under NIF must include sustainability information; listed issuers must publish stand-alone reports aligned with the IFRS Sustainability Disclosure Standards.

  2. Mexican Sustainability Information Standards (NIS): 30 core environmental, social, and governance indicators with mandatory disclosure, without applying a materiality filter.

  3. CNBV Resolution: sets timelines for external assurance of sustainability reports (limited assurance in 2027 and reasonable assurance in 2028).

  4. National Hydric Plan 2024–2030: focus on water sovereignty and climate resilience, digitalization of procedures, infrastructure investment, and enhanced inspections.

  5. National Agreement for the Human Right to Water and Sustainability: coordination between authorities and productive sectors to ensure universal access to water and regulate industrial use.

  6. Voluntary temporary transfers of water volumes: mechanism enabling major users to return unused volumes for human consumption.

  7. New General Water Law initiatives: comprehensive review of concessions, promotion of wastewater reuse, and stricter control of industrial discharges.

  8. Stronger oversight of water concessions and usage: enhanced inspection and enforcement to ensure compliance with concession conditions.

  9. Industrial discharge regulation: stricter measures to prevent and control water body pollution.

  10. Promotion of sustainable water infrastructure: projects to improve the efficiency, capacity, and resilience of supply systems.
