Abstract

The environmental provisions established by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement promote a series of measures that try to make compatible economic growth and development with the objective of environmental protection. The objective of the work is to show the possible implications for Mexico resulting from the new environmental chapter according to the objectives of the Green New Deal seen as a roadmap for nations fighting the global ecological crisis. The central question is what is the potential of both projects to achieve a new paradigm of development and ecological care? The result is the limited scope of the proposals and the urgency to build a multilevel action agenda that promotes the participation of various actors and consolidates an inclusive energy model as a development path for Mexico.
