Mexico’s carbon emissions are about the same as those of Texas, the highest-emitting US state. Per capita emissions, however, are far lower, given Mexico’s much larger population. The result could be a sharp increase in Mexico’s energy-related carbon emissions, undermining Mexico’s ability to achieve its Paris targets.
