CCAC Interinstitutional coordinator for the Super Pollutants Accelerator in Mexico

The CCAC Interinstitutional coordinator for the Super Pollutants Accelerator in Mexico will support the Government of Mexico with the coordination and participation of all competent actors and authorities who are thematically engaged in the goals of super pollutant agenda and its broader climate mitigation and air quality objectives. This includes ensuring coherence, effective information flow, and strategic alignment across key super pollutant sectors. The incumbent will be responsible for facilitating collaboration across relevant line and sectoral ministries—such as through the coordination of a national interministerial mechanism—as well as with other key stakeholders. Also, he/she engages with CCAC Hubs to enhance national action and cross-sectoral integration.

The Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) is a partnership of governments, intergovernmental organizations, and representatives of the private sector, the environmental community, and other members of civil society. The CCAC is the only international initiative working on integrated climate and clean air solutions to reduce the rate of near-term warming. It focuses on fast action to reduce emissions of short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) including methane, black carbon, HFCs and tropospheric ozone. The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) hosts the Secretariat at the Economy Division in Paris. More information about the CCAC is here: www.ccacoalition.org. Mexico has demonstrated sustained leadership on super pollutants for more than a decade. As a founding partner of the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) and a signatory to the Global Methane Pledge, the country has embedded ambitious targets within its Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), including a commitment to reduce methane emissions by 30% and black carbon emissions by 51% by 2030. These commitments are reinforced through national legislation and sectoral strategies. Recognizing Mexico’s leadership on the SLCP agenda, Mexico is now part of the CCAC Super Pollutant Country Action Accelerator (‘Accelerator’). The CCAC Country Action Accelerator in Mexico (2026–2029) aims is to accelerate implementation of Mexico’s super pollutant commitments by strengthening institutional systems and deploying integrated, scalable mitigation models in priority sectors. This will be achieved through the coordinated implementation of multisectoral strategies, scalable mitigation projects, and institutional strengthening, with the support of a specialized national team and technical assistance projects. To support these efforts, the CCAC is seeking an Interinstitutional coordinator for the Super Pollutants Accelerator in Mexico to ensure coordination and participation of all competent actors and authorities who are thematically engaged in the goals of Mexico’s super pollutant agenda and its broader climate mitigation and air quality objectives. This includes ensuring coherence, effective information flow, and strategic alignment across key super pollutant sectors. The incumbent will be responsible for facilitating collaboration across relevant line and sectoral ministries—such as through the coordination of a national interministerial mechanism—as well as with other key stakeholders. The incumbent will also engage with, and strategically leverage, the CCAC Hubs to enhance national action and cross-sectoral integration. Outputs: 1.
