Three leading civil society organizations — ITDP Mexico, the Mexican Center for Environmental Law (CEMDA), and El Poder del Consumidor (EPC) — recently joined together to urge the national Mexican Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) to take a bold step forward as it updates NOM-163, the country’s main policy overseeing on vehicle emissions and fuel efficiency. The organizations say this update is a once-in-a-decade opportunity to enshrine protections for the climate, save Mexican households more money, and reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels — if, and only if, the process remains transparent and free from corporate interference.
