PEOPLE OF THE SUN: LEVERAGING ELECTRICITY REFORM TO PROMOTE RENEWABLE ENERGY AND CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION IN MEXICO

摘要

Human activities that impact the Earth's climate are driven, in large part, by energy consumption. Advancements in technology, infrastructure, and industry have been made possible by the use of fossil fuels. In recent decades, recognition of climate change and its causes has increased, coinciding with other, sector-wide transitions in energy generation and use. The interconnected nature of climate and energy issues calls for legal and regulatory frameworks that are better able to integrate these two concerns-effective broad-scale policy on climate must engage with the complex system for regulating energy, and forward-thinking changes in energy policy must address climate externalities on present and future generations.
