Mexico is working to have a net zero economy by 2050, marking a fresh bid by the country to more aggressively confront climate change under a new president that has prioritized the issue<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mexico\u2019s announcement on Thursday came alongside vows by the European Union, Canada and other countries to set 2035 climate targets that require steep reductions in planet-warming pollution to hit net zero goals by mid-century. The united show of force<\/a> at the UN\u2019s COP29 climate summit in Azerbaijan is part of a building pressure campaign meant to prod major-emitting nations to step up their own ambition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The world is heading toward a \u201ccatastrophic future\u201d if things don\u2019t change drastically \u2014 and soon, said Jose Luis Samaniego, director general of the Mexican Institute for Ecology and Climate Change. This \u201cmessage is even more important,\u201d he added, because \u201cwe are also seeing very concerning political messages signaling setbacks in climate leadership around the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mexico\u2019s new net zero target \u2014 an effort to balance out any greenhouse gas emissions with removals by 2050 \u2014 was hailed as a crucial step forward by the world\u2019s 13th-largest emitter<\/a> under its new president, Claudia Sheinbaum. The declaration means that among the world\u2019s 15-biggest emitters there\u2019s now just one \u2014 Iran \u2014 that has yet to lay out<\/a> a net zero commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under the 2015 Paris Agreement, countries have until Feb. 10 to submit new emissions-cutting pledges for 2035. Nearly 200 nations agreed at last year\u2019s UN climate summit that at minimum those commitments should cover their entire economies and all greenhouse gases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the marker laid down by the coalition on Thursday is for 2035 emission-cutting pledges to also be on a direct path to mid-century net zero targets \u2014 with progressive and more rapid reductions in all greenhouse gases seen as essential to keeping warming below a critical 1.5C threshold<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pledge is meant to be a road map for other big polluting countries, potentially including the world\u2019s top emitter, China, which has set a goal of reaching net zero before 2060. Wopke Hoekstra, the European commissioner for climate action, said the countries were making a \u201cplea, particularly to the largest economies and those that are emitting the most, to do something similar to what we are doing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group effort \u2014 also joined by Chile, Norway and Switzerland \u2014 doubles down on existing emission-cutting plans from the UK<\/a>, Brazil and the United Arab Emirates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The commitment sets \u201ca model for others to follow\u201d and lays out \u201can important benchmark\u201d to judge the credibility of coming pledges, said Manish Bapna, president of the Natural Resources Defense Council. Anything less than a straight-line emissions cut, with a \u201cslower pace of transition, would raise questions about the commitment of countries to deliver on their net zero targets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
