About CFA Mexico

The Climate Finance Accelerator in Mexico is led by our delivery partner NTT Data. CFA Mexico closed its fourth call for proposals in March 2026. Businesses that have been selected to join the cohort will be announced later in the year.  

The CFA has been active in Mexico for four years, supporting the development of a robust pipeline of climate-aligned investments. During this period, the programme has worked with 33 businesses/projects, which have so far received US$188m in investment across solar energy, energy efficiency in housing, waste conversion, forestry & conservation, bio-inputs for agriculture.

CFA Mexico engagement has strengthened local capacity and investor readiness, facilitated the adoption of the Mexican Government's Sustainable Taxonomy, created networks and momentum for climate finance and contributed to progress towards national climate and social inclusion objectives.

Climate policy in Mexico

As an urgent call for collective action in the face of the climate crisis, Mexico set new climate goals in 2025, raising its ambition by setting a cap on absolute carbon emissions on 404 MtCO2 by 2035.

Mexico has built key frameworks to enable climate-aligned finance, anchored by its Strategy to Mobilise Sustainable Finance, including the Sustainable Taxonomy, and Sustainability Information Disclosure Norms.

Solutions across climate-smart agriculture & livestock, forestry, renewable energy, buildings & industrial energy-efficiency, circular economy, and electromobility are growing and attracting varying levels of investment interest from banks, big corporations and private capital funds.

Mexico’s investor landscape is diverse and increasingly sustainability aligned. However, the climate finance gap remains and challenges persist in the identification and preparation of bankable green pipelines, the growth of climate ventures, mispricing of risk, and cross-sector coordination.

By providing capacity building aligned to financiers' appetite and policies, and sharing success stories and learnings, CFA Mexico will catalyse investment readiness and scale up climate-aligned capital across public and private channels.
