Avances y desafíos en el proceso de institucionalización de la evaluación de la política climática en México

Abstract

At the beginning of this century, climate change was recognized by the Mexican government as a public problem, and over the years, a public policy for its attention was configured. In this last decade, legal actions have been promoted and dependencies have been created to introduce evaluation as an instrument that allows the improvement of the processes of construction and redesign of climate policy. Faced with this, this paper analyzes the process of institutionalization of the evaluation of climate policy in Mexico, in particular the advances in the administrative culture and the challenges that currently must be overcome to ensure that the legal-cultural system, created to evaluate the policy implemented to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and achieve adaptation to the effects of climate change, allows evaluation to be assumed as a constant, necessary and priority activity in the formulation and decision-making processes.
