ESTABLECIMIENTO DE ÁREAS DESTINADAS VOLUNTARIAMENTE A LA CONSERVACIÓN

The program's objective is to regulate greenhouse gas emissions of anthropogenic origin, mitigate and adapt to climate change, and define concurrency between the three levels of government: the Federation, federal entities, and municipalities. The program's study aimed to review the attributions of each entity's competence, elaborate an inventory with provisions that could be adopted or modified, and prioritize actions within their competence. Harmonization between states and municipalities is a key aspect of the program, requiring entities to review and update their laws, programs, and regulations to align with the General Law of Climate Change. For federal entities, harmonization involves revising their state laws on climate change, developing a state program on climate change, and making reforms in various areas, including water, rural development, education, transportation, urban development, waste management, civil protection, health, and finance. The program also requires the establishment of a state atlas of risk, a state program on climate change, and modifications to the regional operational plan of the state. For municipalities, harmonization involves revising their municipal regulations on climate change, developing a municipal program on climate change, and making reforms in areas such as water, urban development, construction, civil protection, waste management, transportation, and finance. The program also requires the establishment of a local atlas of risk for vulnerable human settlements and a municipal program on urban development that considers the effects of climate change. The program sets specific deadlines for the implementation of these actions, including the establishment of state and local atlases of risk by December 31, 2013, and the development of state and municipal programs on climate change by the same date. The program also prioritizes actions for municipalities, including the development of infrastructure for the management of solid waste that does not emit methane in urban centers with over 50,000 inhabitants, and the implementation of technology for the generation of electricity from emissions. The program concludes that federal entities need to regulate the following: emitting state atlases of risk before December 31, 2013, and state programs on climate change before the same date. Municipalities need to regulate the following: emitting local atlases of risk for vulnerable human settlements before December 31, 2013, and urban development programs that consider the effects of climate change before November 30, 2015. The program also notes that the General Law of Climate Change does not clarify which authority will determine the most vulnerable human settlements to climate change, and whether there will be a single program to integrate and publish the atlases of all federal entities and municipalities.
