    Mexico is signatory to the Paris Agreement. As such, the country submitted its first Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) in 2014 in the run-up to the Paris agreement. In the past years, renewable energy systems have seen a massive cost reduction, which should be considered energy sector and climate change mitigation plans (also see Eckstein et al. (2020)). In view of these developments, this study analyses the process underlying the development of Mexico´s NDC and its revision in 2020 with a particular focus on the energy sector and renewable energy systems. The assumptions underlying the related energy sector planning document (PRODESEN) and the relationships to the NDC are assessed. The study is completed by giving a snapshot of political constraints under the current administration of President López Obrador. The study builds on literature review and insights gained from interviews with pertinent Mexican stakeholders. In Mexico´s NDC, emissions are estimated to increase by roughly 50% between 2013 and 2030 in the business as usual (BAU) scenario. The unconditional mitigation target of Mexico´s NDC foresees a greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction by 22% by 2030 relative to BAU. In the electricity sector, the NDC aims at a 31% GHG emissions reduction. The target setting process remains publicly undisclosed and highly politicized. The main responsibility for the NDC revision is with the Environment Ministry of Mexico (SEMARNAT). SEMARNAT is supported by the National Institute for Ecology and Climate Change (INECC), a body created under the climate change law. The highest level administrative body in the energy sector in Mexico is the Energy Ministry (SENER), responsible for the establishment of targets and strategic transmission investments for renewable energy. The 2020 NDC revision considers only enhanced energy efficiency measures and to a large extent disregards renewable energies in the power sector. Energy sector planning is described to align to political interests and not to follow cost optimization, despite the fact that cost optimization modelling exercises have been carried out by SENER and supported by international organizations...

    This study builds on three case studies in Argentina, Indonesia and Mexico which analyse the implications of falling costs for renewable energy systems on the countries' energy sector planning and climate policy. Each case study consists of two country specific reports. The first report analyses how falling costs of renewable energy could impact country specific power sector development. The second report analyses the process of climate and renewable energy target setting, as well as the prevalent narrative around renewable energy integration. Finally, the present report provides a cross-country synthesis of all case studies, providing insights into the question of how falling costs of renewable energy systems might support the achievement of the goals of the Paris Agreement. Globally falling cost figures for solar PV and wind energy do not naturally translate into increased ambition in planning. The integration of these technologies to the energy system still face substantial barriers in our case study countries: The integration of higher shares of renewable energy goes along with investments into transmission and distribution network modernisation, network expansion and interconnections between power grids. Though an important element, falling costs for renewable energy projects alone do not necessarily translate into overall reduced power system costs. While globally falling costs for wind and solar PV are indicative for learning curve effects in the manufacturing of these technologies, the LCOE of renewable projects is highly sensitive to financing costs. These are largely determined by the local political and regulatory framework and remain high in our case countries, representing a barrier. We find that a number of regulatory and administrative barriers hinder higher integration of solar PV and wind. Frequently changing regulations and ill-designed support schemes often prevail over welldesigned renewable energy auction schemes that are followed over several years. We find the political economy fossil fuels to be pivotal in the energy sector and climate planning and target setting processes. Fossil fuel endowments and a long history of natural resource exploitation lead to strong vested interests towards sustaining the use of fossil fuels to satisfy a growing electricity demand...

    Colombia faces a number of challenges including growing electricity demand, increasing hydroelectric uncertainty as a result of changes in the el Niño weather phenomenon, and a growing need for social housing in metropolitan areas driven by accelerating urbanisation. At the same time, Colombia actively implementing its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement. These include measures to improve energy efficiency in the residential sector overall. Some of which will also have a positive effect on energy efficiency in social housing. Policies for renewable electricity, building codes, and appliance energy performance standards all play a role in these efforts. However, these policies are not currently putting Colombia on a path towards the decarbonisation of the building sector that is needed to reach the temperature goals of the Paris Agreement. Through Article 6 of the Paris Agreement, countries can cooperate in NDC implementation to allow for higher climate ambition. This can offer opportunities for interventions in the building sector. Given the dynamic nature of the sector and number of actors, ensuring environmental integrity through an overall sectoral approach to Article 6 transfers is likely to be challenging especially in terms of additionality, baseline setting, and monitoring reporting and verification. However, there may be an opportunity to construct Net Zero Energy Buildings though an Article 6 pilot in the social housing sector, which would reduce energy consumption, reduce emissions, reduce energy poverty, reduce energy consumption subsidy payments, and improve public health and energy security. Such a pilot could, together with a larger policy roadmap towards increasingly stringent energy efficiency standards, help put the Colombian building sector on a path towards decarbonisation and alignment with the Paris Agreement. Kolumbien steht vor einer Reihe von Herausforderungen, darunter der wachsende Strombedarf, die zunehmende Unzuverlässigkeit der Stromerzeugung aus Wasserkraft infolge von Veränderungen durch das El Niño-Wetterphänomen, und ein rasch wachsender Bedarf an Sozialwohnungen in Metropolregionen, der durch die beschleunigte Urbanisierung verursacht wird. Gleichzeitig bemüht sich Kolumbien um die Umsetzung seines national festgelegten Beitrags (NDC) im Rahmen des Pariser Abkommens, welcher auch Maßnahmen zur Steigerung der Energieeffizienz im Gebäudebereich insgesamt umfasst. Einige davon werden sich auch positiv auf die Energieeffizienz im sozialen Wohnungsbau auswirken. Bei diesen Bemühungen spielen vor allem Richtlinien für erneuerbare Energien, Bauvorschriften und Energieeffizienzstandards für Geräte eine Rolle. Dennoch führt diese Politik Kolumbien derzeit noch nicht auf einen Pfad, der zur Dekarbonisierung des Gebäudesektors erforderlich ist, um die Temperaturziele des Pariser Abkommens zu erreichen. Länder können aber durch Artikel 6 des Pariser Abkommens bei der Umsetzung ihrer NDCs zusammenarbeiten, um ein höheres Ambitionsniveau im Klimaschutz zu erreichen. Aufgrund der Dynamik des Sektors und der Anzahl von Akteuren dürfte die Gewährleistung der Umweltintegrität bei einen sektoralen Ansatz für Transfers basierend auf Artikel 6 eine Herausforderung darstellen, insbesondere hinsichtlich Zusätzlichkeit, Baseline-Bestimmung und Überwachungs-, Berichterstattungs- und Prüfssystemen. Dennoch könnte ein Pilotprojekt zum Bau von Netto-Nullenergiegebäuden im sozialen Wohnungsbausektor eine Gelegenheit zur Zusammenarbeit durch Artikel 6 bieten. Netto-Nullenergiegebäude würden den Energieverbrauch reduzieren, Emissionen mindern, die Energiearmut reduzieren, die öffentlichen Haushalte durch den Abbau von Subventionen für den Energieverbrauch entlasten, und die öffentliche Gesundheit sowie die Energiesicherheit verbessern. Ein solches Pilotprojekt könnte zusammen mit einem umfassenderen politischen Fahrplan für immer strengere Energieeffizienznormen dazu beitragen, den kolumbianischen Gebäudesektor auf einen Weg der Dekarbonisierung im Einklang mit den Zielen des Pariser Abkommens zu bringen.
