Following Mexico's ratification of the Paris Agreement and its entry in force in 2016, the necessary legal adaptations were made to include the provisions of the Paris Agreement in the national legal framework, and the institutional frameworks for its application were defined. Thus, the General Law on Climate Change (LGCC) was reformed in 2018 to establish the figure of "Nationally Determined Contributions" as the "set of objectives and goals, assumed by Mexico, within the framework of the Paris Agreement, in matters of mitigation and adaptation to climate change to meet the long-term objectives of the United Notions Framework Convention on Climate Change", as set out in Article 3, section X of the LGCC. In the same Law, the commitment to reduce emissions established by Mexico's NDC is stipulated as follows: "The country commits to reduce in an unconditional manner twenty-two percent of its greenhouse gas emissions and fifty-one percent of its black carbon emissions by 2030 compared to the baseline. This contribution, assumed as a Nationally Dtermined Contribution, implies reaching a maximum of national emissions by 2026; and decoupling greenhouse gas emissions from economic growth, the intensity of emissions per unit of gross domestic product will be reduced by about forty percent between 2013 and 2030".
