U.S. And Mexico Partner Against Climate Change


by Luyao (Lucy)
U.S. Agency for International Development, or USAID, Mexico Mission Director, Thomas R. Delaney, joined Mr. Graco Ramirez, the Governor of Morelos State, in Mexico City on September 13th, to sign a Letter of Intention to cooperate between USAID and the state government.
USAID will provide technical assistance through the Mexico Low Emissions Development Program, or MLED, to support the analysis and implementation of strategies to foster low emissions development policies at the state. This initiative supports the state’s larger action plan to counter climate change and increase the use of renewable energy.

USAID has worked for over 20 years in a wide range of environmental issues in Mexico, with actions including the conservation and sustainable management of natural resources, watersheds and energy, as well as addressing problems of climate change and generating sustainable economic opportunities for rural communities.

The United States is proud to work with its partner, Mexico to benefit our two peoples, the Western Hemisphere, and the world.

    Hi lucy!

    I think the hidden reason why U.S is willing to give a hand is it gets more benefits from this cooperation than it has to pay, or they see the emerging markets will give more sweets in the future.
