Our partner Brenda Rogel and associate Javier Camacho examine in the following article published by The Legal Industry Reviews México, the main shifts in Mexico’s national water policy following the start of the new administration.
Under Claudia Sheinbaum’s leadership, water management has gained priority on the public agenda, structured around three main pillars: a) National Water Plan 2024–2030; b) National Agreement on the Human Right to Water and Sustainability; and 3) New General Water Law initiatives.
Key takeaways:
- Transition toward a water policy focused on justice, sustainability, and transparent management, with the guarantee of the human right to water at its core.
- Promotion of temporary transfer agreements of water rights in favor of CONAGUA to prioritize human consumption.
- Legislative proposals to replace the current National Water Law, including measures such as zero-discharge goals, strengthened water reuse, and review of concessions in vulnerable areas.
