  • Climate Action Plan for the City of La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico: a Tool for Sustainability
    The Sustainable City X 439 Climate action plan for the city of La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico: a tool for sustainability A. Ivanova, A. Bermudez & A. Martinez Universidad Autonoma de Baja California Sur, Mexico Abstract As a result of its coastal location and severe water scarcity condition, the city of La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico, is extremely vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. The purpose of this paper is to present the main findings of the Climate Change Action Plan for the City of La Paz and Neighbouring Areas (PACCLAP): first, the vulnerability to climate change and the adaptation measures suggested; and second, the local greenhouse gas emissions inventory and the recommended mitigation measures. In this study the methodology specified in UNEP (2008) was applied, Methodology for Assessment: GEO Cities. Manual for Application, Version 3; UNEP (2009), Training Manual on Vulnerability and Adaptation to Climate Change for Geo Cities, UN-Habitat (2010), Planning for Climate Change: A Resource Guide for Urban Planners and UNEP (2011) IEA Training Manual, Climate Change Vulnerability and Impact Assessment in Cities. The greenhouse gas emissions inventory (LGHGEI) was carried out following the revised 1996 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s guidelines for greenhouse gas inventories (IPCC, 1997a; IPCC, 1997b; IPCC, 1997c). The main results show that the water scarcity is the principal vulnerability for the city, followed by the sea level rise; and that the transport sector must be the priority in the mitigation strategy. The proposed climate actions (e.g. catch of surface water in dams, reduce leakage losses in the water system; efficient fuel use; and, emissions mitigation trough grid connected systems) are directly related to the Municipality Development Plan, thus making the PACCLAP a valuable instrument to support current and future decision makers in the formulation of public policies to foster the sustainability and improve the wellbeing of the local society.

This study provides evidence of the occurrence of this species at the Revillagigedo Archipelago (18899′186′′N 112808′44′′W), Mexico, using acoustic telemetry and videos taken from 2014 to 2016. We report here movements from a coastal location (National Park Cabo Pulmo) to a group of oceanic islands (Revillagigedo Archipelago) by one single individual, supporting the idea of the potential connectivity of sharks between the Gulf of California and the Revillagigedo Archipelago. This report extends the known distribution of N. velox to 400 km off the mainland coast of the Americas, thereby increasing the knowledge of the distribution of a species commonly reported in fishery landings of the Eastern Pacific.

Porter Professor Niels Ketelhöhn Mulegué Loreto Comondú Los Cabos municipality La Paz San Jose del Cabo Cabo Corridor Cabo San Lucas Daniel Acevedo (Mexico) Dionisio Garza Sada (Mexico) José Luis Romo (Mexico) Bernardo Vogel (Mexico) Boston, Massachusetts May 2nd, 2008 Profile of Mexico Mexico covers an area of 1,964,382 square kilometers (758,452 square miles). With a population of 105 million, Mexico is the 11th most populous country and the most populous Spanish-speaking country in the world. The nation’s capital, Mexico City, is the second largest city in the world. Mexico is composed by 31 states congregated in a federal representative democratic republic. The constitution establishes three levels of government: federal, state, and municipal. The federal government is constituted by the Legislative branch, composed by the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, the Executive branch, headed by the President who is elected for a single term every six years by a direct national election and is also commander in chief of the military forces, and the Judicial branch, comprised by the Supreme Court.1 Recent Political and Economic Situation The economic policy from 1920 until the end of the 1980’s was based on a centralized economy driven by strong government intervention. During the 1950´s postwar years, Mexico pursued an economic development strategy of “stabilizing development” that relied on heavy public-sector investment to modernize the national economy. Concurrently, Mexican governments followed conservative policies on controlled interest and exchange rates that helped maintain low rates of inflation and attracted external capital to support industrialization.

  • The United States Gives Recognition to Baja California As Boophilus Spp
    The United States gives recognition to Baja California as Boophilus spp. tick-free The measure allows producers to export live cattle with less restrictions. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) gave recognition to Baja California as a boophilus spp. (Rhipicephalus) tick-free zone, which will allow bovine cattle producers to export live animals more easily. The recognition was granted by the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), following the request made in the first quarter of 2019 by the National Service for Agro-Alimentary Public Health, Safety and Quality (SENASICA). The US health agency conducted various analyzes and concluded that ruminants imported from the region represent a low risk for American cattle. The APHIS establishes regulations on the importation of certain animals to prevent the introduction of cattle transmissible diseases. The regulations establish the procedure to request recognition of the animal health status of a region or for the approval of the export of a particular type of animal or product to the US. The APHIS evaluates the applications and, if it considers that the recognition can be granted, it submits its evaluation for public consultation –by means of a notice that is published in its Federal Register. Once the consultation is finished, the health authority reviews the comments and makes a final determination. In the case of the declaration made for Baja California, the APHIS published the request of the agency of the Secretariat of Agriculture and Rural Development (SADER) last March 19th, and requested comments for a period of 60 days. Given that it did not receive any comments, it communicated to SENASICA its determination to add the entity to the list of regions of Mexico declared as free of ticks.
