The EU and Mexico enhance their collaboration on climate and environmental issues

The EU and Mexico have agreed to deepen cooperation on environmental protection, biodiversity, and climate action. They signed a Joint Declaration on Environmental and Climate Action, setting priorities like protecting forests, promoting clean energy, tackling plastic pollution, and advancing nature restoration. Both parties committed to collaborating under international frameworks like the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework and the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The partnership includes policy dialogues, knowledge sharing, and joint initiatives on issues such as deforestation, circular economy, and sustainable finance. It reinforces the broader EU–Latin America partnership on climate and environment, ahead of the next global climate and biodiversity summits. This move signals both regions’ intention to align their environmental and climate ambitions while strengthening trade and diplomatic ties.
