Mexico Unveils Expert-Led Climate Observatory
Mexico's Parliament creates Climate Observatory to monitor gov't action on climate change. Independent experts will be chosen by lawmakers to ensure ambitious goals are met and Mexico upholds its commitments under the Paris Agreement.
The winds of change can be fickle things, especially when it comes to the environment. In Mexico, however, a new institution has taken root, determined to weather the storm: the Climate Observatory. Imagine, if you will, a lighthouse, not casting its beam across the ocean, but piercing through layers of bureaucracy to illuminate the path towards a more sustainable future.
This isn't your typical government body. Born from an “economic vote” in the Mexican Chamber of Deputies, the Observatory carries a whiff of the unconventional. Its purpose? To be a watchful eye, a guardian with a keen gaze fixed on the actions – or perhaps the inaction – of various government agencies tasked with tackling climate change.
