Clean Production and Renewable Energy Component of the Environment Program

Summary Activity Description

USAID/Mexico’s new Clean Production and Renewable Energy (CP/RE) project provides the vehicle to support the Mission’s new Environment objective: Improved management and conservation of natural resources in targeted watersheds. Clean Production and Renewable Energy (CP/RE) aims to further integrate cleaner production (energy efficiency, pollution prevention and environmental management systems) and renewable energy (small scale solar, wind, micro-hydro and micro-biomass systems) efforts by building upon previous USAID/Mexico work with local partners in Mexico through mechanisms such as the Resource Management Systems Initiative (RMSI) and the Mexico Renewable Energy Program (MREP). The program will work with local counterparts (SENER, SEMARNAT, PEMEX, CNA, FIRCO, CMP+L(1) and Environment Program partners including The World Wildlife Fund, The Nature Conservancy, Conservation International and Fondo Mexicano para la Conservación de la Naturaleza) to integrate the efforts of the environment program in support of improved management in targeted watersheds
