Within the framework of World Environment Day and as part of the discussion “Environment: Sowing Well-being”, of the Forum “The City and Transformation” held at FARO Cosmos, the Head of Government, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo pointed out that Mexico is an example of action for other nations in terms of reducing environmental impacts, with a policy with a vision of well-being, economic development and hope.
“Mexico today is an example for many countries of what is being done, and what must be done is to continue with an orientation where we can never forget those who have less, that is, there must be well-being, there must be a decrease in environmental impacts and there has to be, of course, an economic development that allows us to generate both conditions. That is what we have been doing in Mexico City and, without a doubt, it is what the President of the Republic has been doing,” shared the local president.
Accompanied by the Secretary of Agriculture and Rural Development (SADER) of the Government of Mexico, Víctor Manuel Villalobos Arámbula; the head of the Megalopolis Environmental Commission (CAMe), Víctor Hugo Páramo Figueroa; and the lawyer and defender of Human Rights, Julia Álvarez Icaza Ramírez, the Head of Government highlighted some of the results of the “Environmental and Climate Change Program”, implemented in Mexico City since 2019.
“These are examples of how, without large economic resources, through changes in behavior: separating the garbage into organic and inorganic and, at the same time, new technological developments, allow us to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; they generate well-being, because they generate jobs; and they allow us to build an economy different from the industrial economy in which we have lived for so many years, which discarded absolutely everything”, he pointed out.
Claudia Sheinbaum highlighted that more than 35 million trees and plants have been planted, which has made it possible to capture carbon dioxide and, together with the recovery of bodies of water, favor biodiversity, with the return to the city of 60 migratory species.
He also mentioned the intervention of the Magdalena, San Buenaventura and Los Remedios rivers, as well as the Grand Canal and Lake Xico, these last drainage channels that are now being recovered with wetland projects to purify the water.

Regarding solid waste management, the Head of Government spoke of the Azcapotzalco Transfer Station and Selection Plant, the most modern in Latin America for processing inorganic waste, which together with a second plant to be built in the Gustavo A. Madero, will allow the recycling of about 2 thousand tons of waste per day and added that with the Hydrothermal Carbonization Plant organic waste is processed to turn it into charcoal pellets.
