In Mexico, the State of Jalisco stands out as a subnational leader, having developed and begun implementing a jurisdictional REDD+ model rooted in long-term vision, institutional strength, and a strong commitment to forest communities&#8217; rights. In its role as strategic partner to the Government of Jalisco, Environmental Defense Fund has been providing targeted technical assistance, supporting the development of emissions baselines and safeguard frameworks, and bolstering Jalisco\u2019s alignment with international best practices in high-integrity carbon markets.<\/p>\n<p>With over 4 million hectares of forest cover, representing more than 50% of its territory, Jalisco\u2019s forests are critical for biodiversity conservation, climate regulation, and the livelihoods of hundreds of communal land communities, called ejidos, and Indigenous communities. The state&#8217;s REDD+ Strategy, developed through inclusive, participatory processes, links forest conservation, restoration, land-use planning, and sustainable rural development. It aligns with Mexico\u2019s national REDD+ framework and the country\u2019s commitments under the Paris Agreement.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24932\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24932\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/\/1280px-Jalisco_in_Mexico_location_map_scheme.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-24932\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/\/1280px-Jalisco_in_Mexico_location_map_scheme-1024x670.jpg\" alt=\"Map of the state of Jalisco, Mexico\" width=\"540\" height=\"353\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/1280px-Jalisco_in_Mexico_location_map_scheme-1024x670.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/1280px-Jalisco_in_Mexico_location_map_scheme-300x196.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/1280px-Jalisco_in_Mexico_location_map_scheme-768x502.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/1280px-Jalisco_in_Mexico_location_map_scheme.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24932\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The State of Jalisco in western Mexico is one of the country\u2019s most significant cultural and economic centers.

This progress reflects the effectiveness of state-led territorial solutions, including sustainable production incentives and local capacity-building efforts.<\/p>\n<p>One of the state&#8217;s most pressing challenges has been increasing pressure on forest ecosystems from the expansion of avocado and agave (tequila) cultivation. In response, the Government of Jalisco has introduced targeted measures to prevent unauthorized land-use changes in forested areas, such as stricter regulations, satellite monitoring, and interagency coordination. Moreover, the state has forged strategic partnerships with key industry actors such asthe Tequila Regulatory Council (CRT) and the Association of Avocado Export Producers of Jalisco (APEAJAL), to promote sustainable, deforestation-free supply chains through enhanced traceability, compliance, and environmental stewardship.<\/p>\n<p>With the technical support of national and international organizations, and bolstered by the ongoing political will of the state government, Jalisco is actively preparing to access high-integrity, results-based climate finance. Key milestones include the ongoing update of the state\u2019s forest reference emission level, the development of a locally adapted safeguards information system, and the design of a transparent and equitable Benefit Sharing Plan (BSP) to ensure fair distribution of carbon revenues.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24946\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24946\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-06-04-at-2.43.49-PM-3.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-24946\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-06-04-at-2.43.49-PM-3-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"Rainforest in the state of Jalisco, Mexico\" width=\"540\" height=\"405\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-06-04-at-2.43.49-PM-3-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-06-04-at-2.43.49-PM-3-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-06-04-at-2.43.49-PM-3-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-06-04-at-2.43.49-PM-3.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24946\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rainforest in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. Photo by Edgar Godoy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A central pillar of Jalisco\u2019s approach is inclusive governance. The state is committed to ensuring that local communities and Indigenous Peoples are not only beneficiaries but active decision-makers in the jurisdictional REDD+ process. Dedicated spaces for dialogue and consultation are being established to integrate their knowledge, concerns, and aspirations into the institutional and financial architecture that will guide carbon market participation.<\/p>\n<p>Jalisco is also exploring potential participation in international mechanisms such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leafcoalition.org\/home\">LEAF Coalition<\/a>, which supports the purchase of verified emission reductions under jurisdictional frameworks. In doing so, the state emphasizes equity and environmental integrity, ensuring that climate finance reaches those who have historically protected the forests and faced structural barriers to accessing climate-related benefits.<\/p>\n<p>As emphasized by the IPCC (2022), integrated, multi-level approaches that bring together government actors, local communities, and climate finance mechanisms are essential to achieving meaningful emission reductions while advancing environmental justice. Jalisco is proving that this is &#8212; starting from the ground up.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Jalisco\u2019s leadership offers a replicable roadmap for other subnational governments across Latin America. Its model combines political leadership, technical rigor, legal clarity, and deep social commitment. As global interest in jurisdictional carbon credits grows, experiences like Jalisco\u2019s show how climate finance can be directed to where it matters most: territories on the front lines of deforestation and climate change.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24947\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24947\" style=\"width: 540px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-06-04-at-2.43.49-PM.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-24947\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-06-04-at-2.43.49-PM-1024x694.jpeg\" alt=\"Rainforest in Jalisco, Mexico on a clear day\" width=\"540\" height=\"366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-06-04-at-2.43.49-PM-1024x694.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-06-04-at-2.43.49-PM-300x203.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-06-04-at-2.43.49-PM-768x521.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/climate411\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/7\/files\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-06-04-at-2.43.49-PM.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24947\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rainforest in Jalisco, Mexico on a clear day.

Through this system, the government granted land to rural communities (ejidatarios) to use collectively, primarily for agriculture, livestock, and forestry. Although individual members may have the right to use specific plots, the land remains under communal ownership and cannot be sold as private property. Together, ejidos and Indigenous communities collectively own approximately 60% of Mexico\u2019s forest lands, making them critical stewards of the country\u2019s natural resources. Their role is central to forest conservation, sustainable land management, and the implementation of climate and biodiversity initiatives at the local and national levels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The State of Jalisco, Mexico has developed and is implementing a jurisdictional REDD+ model rooted in long-term vision, institutional strength, and a strong commitment to forest communities&#8217; rights.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":153225,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[71676,107916,107917,109,4866,99544,828,46599],"tags":[],"coauthors":[108193],"class_list":["post-24927","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-carbon-markets","category-forest-protection","category-indigenous-people","category-international","category-mexico","category-paris-agreement","category-redd","category-united-nations"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
