In the context of Mexico's Energy Reform and National Climate Change Strategy (see " Mexico Implementing Clean Energy Reform," The Climate Report, Spring 2018), on October 1, 2019, the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (Secretaría de Medio Ambiente y Recursos Naturales, or "SEMARNAT") published in the Federal Official Gazette, a national carbon market pilot program ("Pilot Program").

The Pilot Program aims to establish the preliminary basis for the operation of the country's first carbon market. The initial operation includes only stationary sources from the energy and industrial sectors generating more than 100,000 tons of direct emissions of carbon dioxide and will last for 36 months counted as of January 1, 2020 (ending December 31, 2022).

A federal court in New Mexico has granted a preliminary injunction against the state's PFAS labeling rule for consumer products, finding that the regulation likely violates constitutional protections for commercial speech. The court questioned whether the state's characterization of the label as a "consumer awareness" measure rather than a warning undermines the connection between New Mexico's stated health and environmental interests and the means used to achieve them.
