This initiative strengthens Mexico’s financial system to accelerate the mobilisation of sustainable capital and enhance environmental and social accountability. It focuses on the adoption and operationalisation of the Sustainable Taxonomy, improvements to ESG regulation and reporting, and the monitoring of the Sustainable Finance Mobilisation Strategy (SFMS).Activities include aligning public financial instruments—such as sovereign bonds and development bank frameworks—with the Sustainable Taxonomy and international standards (IFRS S1/S2, ICMA), refining biodiversity criteria, and updating ESG tools to foster consistent and transparent reporting.
 
Designed to advance Mexico’s Sustainable Finance Agenda, this initiative promotes greater transparency, biodiversity mainstreaming, and gender-responsive investment practices.
 
By integrating ESG and Taxonomy principles into financial operations, it supports inclusive and climate-resilient development, contributing directly to Mexico’s NDC 3.0, Sustainable Development Goals, and UK PACT’s objective of driving systemic change through green finance.
