Mexico’s federal environmental agency has released the new edition of PROMARNAT, a program that outlines its priorities for the next five years. It is not a regulatory action plan but rather a guideline for the agency’s main objectives:
- Conservation and sustainable use of ecosystems
- Restoration of priority areas
- Guarantee of the human right to water
- Climate action and pollution prevention
- Environmental justice and human-centered ecological policies
- Institutional strengthening and intersectoral coordination
Impact for businesses:
- Expect new regulations and stricter enforcement on emissions, hazardous waste, wastewater, and energy efficiency.
- Potential new obligations for site remediation and updates to NOMs related to hazardous waste, contaminated sites, high-risk activities, and extractive industries.
Notably absent:
- No new chemical regulation similar to REACH.
- No new requirements for carbon or sustainability reporting, as these are already addressed by the CNBV as of 2025.
