What is IGECC?

The Energy Management and Climate Change Index (IGECC, for its words in Spanish) evaluates the performance of subnational governments in terms of energy management and combating climate change. It becomes a consultation tool for decision-makers, allowing them to analyze the situation of each entity studied and make improvements.

The evaluation carried out by the IGECC is the result of research and analysis of public data, organized under a methodology that allows for comparability and reliability of the information. Furthermore, this methodology was carefully designed to be aligned with important international initiatives that seek to combat climate change, reduce climate-related financial risks, and encourage the adoption of renewable energies.

Nuestros objetivos

El Índice de Gestión Energética y Cambio Climático (IGECC) tiene el objetivo de promover e incitar a la gestión pública a llevar a cabo acciones enfocadas en promover la gestión energética y mitigar el cambio climático mediante el análisis de información con base en una metodología alineada a importantes iniciativas internacionales, tales como: Las Recomendaciones del grupo de trabajo sobre declaraciones financieras relacionadas con el clima (TCFD, por sus siglas en inglés), las metas del Acuerdo de París, las Contribuciones Previstas y Determinadas a Nivel Nacional (INDC, por sus siglas en inglés), y los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible de la Organización de las Naciones Unidas (ONU). Apoyando a gobiernos subnacionales, empresarios, inversionistas, académicos y demás grupos de interés en la recopilación y análisis de información estratégica para la toma de decisiones en la gestión de oportunidades para la adaptación a los efectos del cambio climático y la mitigación de los riesgos asociados al clima.

Mission

To be a multi-stakeholder online management platform serves as a reference point for energy and climate change management information, including activities, statistics, data, specific analytical tools, and knowledge products developed in response to the growing demand for information from stakeholders.

Vision

To support subnational governments in managing energy information to facilitate climate decision-making and adapt to the effects of climate change. In addition to performing diagnostics and foresight, integrating energy and climate data into public policies.

How to use the IGECC

State and Municipal governments, entrepreneurs, investors, academics, and other stakeholders can make use of the results of the IGECC for actions such as the following:

- Develop public policy based on strengths and opportunities.
- Design environmental impact mitigation strategies based on weaknesses and threats.
- Benchmark with peers to develop best practices and/or collaborations.
- Confirm regional leadership.
- Make commitments aligned to best practices.
- Conduct qualitative/quantitative analysis.
- Manage climate-related risks in supply chains, value chains, properties, or operations.
- Generate green finance opportunities.
- Build investment portfolios integrating energy and environmental information.
- Conduct academic consultations.

Municipalities

Methodology

The IGECC provides tools for integrating energy and environmental issues to help mitigate climate-related risks and enhance long-term value creation in analyzed subnational governments. In addition, integrating IGECC into investment decision-making will help identify opportunities or risks that cannot be captured by conventional financial analysis. The study entities for the IGECC 2020-2021 were five States: Aguascalientes, Guanajuato, Jalisco, Queretaro and San Luis Potosí. As well as, 16 Municipalities: Aguascalientes Celaya, Guadalajara, Guanajuato, Irapuato, Leon, Puerto Vallarta, Salamanca, San Juan del Rio, San Luis Potosi, San Pedro Tlaquepaque, Santiago de Queretaro, Soledad de Graciano Sanchez, Tlajomulco de Zuniga, Tonala and Zapopan.
