摘要

Mexico could have a carbon market topping $3 billion by 2019 as it moves to slash greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to climate change, Environment Ministry (Semarnat) Planning and Environmental Policy Sub-secretary Rodolfo Lacy said. "Our goal is to reduce emissions by 20 percent or 200 million [metric tons] a year from the highest polluting sectors, transport and energy," Lacy told Bloomberg BNA at a World Bank carbon finance conference March 5 in Mexico City.
