    Supporting the national climate change

    agenda in Mxico

    The Tecnologico de Estudios Superiores de Ecatepec

    The Mexicans National Development Plan (NDP), El Plan Nacional de Desarrollo

    de Mxico, for 2007-2012 includes explicitly for the first time the topic of climate

    change. This presidential commitment includes federal programmes with climate

    change clauses. The NDP proposes two major objectives. One designed to reduce

    greenhouse gases (GHG) and the other to promote measures to adapt to the

    effects of climate change.

    The Tecnolgico de Estudios Superiores de Ecatepec (TESE) is implementing

    these two major objectives along the lines of raising awareness and improving

    knowledge about climate change in different sectors and regions of the country.

    This agrees with Article 6 of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate

    Change that sets up the promotion and support of all countries in terms of

    education, training and public awareness about the phenomenon.

    To this end, TESE is developing educational resources for different sectors and

    social actors that urgently require them. Specifically three lines of attention are

    identified: population awareness, identification of vulnerability and support of the

    industries developing of GHG inventories.

    The impact of art

    The Institute has organised an exhibition of a mural course of climate change,

    composed of 100 large photographs (1.20 x 1.80m). With minimum text, this

    pictorially conveys the consequences and practical suggestions to combat climate

    change, on a personal, community or national level. It is designed to be

    transported to different places and communities and the numbers of visitors show

    it has been very successful so far. In addition, the book Climate Change and

    Global Warming: Science, evidence, consequences and proposals to tackle them

    has been printed in 2,000 copies, and aims to be a broad introduction to the topic

    for the general public.

    Add it ion all y, TESE car ri es ou t re sear ch on t he vu ln era bi lit y to and ri sk s of t he

    impacts of climate change. From this research, different measures of adaptation

    to seasonal floods are produced, such as ways to avoid settling in high-risk areas.

    TESE supports local industries with their GHG inventories, via the GHG

    Programme Mxico (www.geimexico.org). This is a voluntary national accounting

    and reporting programm e it s advisory comm ittee includes the Confederation of

    the Industry Chamber (CONCAMIN) and the National Institute of Ecology (INE). It

    is supported by the Global Opportunities Fund of Foreign & Commonwealth Office

    (FCO) of the UK, as well as the US Agency for International Development

    (USAID).

    As a dece nt ra lis ed pu bli c ent it y, t he un iv ers it y is loc at ed in Ecat epe c and lis te d

    among the best institutions of higher education in the metropolitan area. It was

    created in September 1990 by state decree as a public agency with its own legal

    personality and was the first institution of its kind. Five years running, from 2004

    to 2009, its degrees were certified by the governments Secretara de Educacin

    Pblica (SEP). TESE belongs to the subsystem of Technological Institutes of the

    SEP. It operates through funding from federal and state governments and

    generates its own funds as well.

    Educational institutions and universities face significant challenges in extending

    knowledge on climate change, but there is an opportunity to work together to

    change the climatic patterns of our world. No one alone and no nation separately

    will be able to succeed in this specifically global challenge, which is why TESE

    calls for other institutions to join, especially now there is a newly created

    network, Mexican Universities and Higher Education Institutions for Mitigation and

    Adap t at ion on Clim at e Chan ge, of wh ich TESE i s a m em ber .
