* Mexico’s President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has outlined the possibility of signing a bilateral agreement on renewable energy with the US. López Obrador was speaking to the press following a meeting with the US Special Presidential Envoy for Climate John Kerry, who visited Mexico from 28-29 October. López Obrador said Kerry had “left very happy, because in Mexico we are making progress in the generation of renewable, clean energies.” He said the possibility of signing a bilateral green energy agreement with the US had been raised, and it was “very probable” this would happen when US President Joe Biden visits Mexico in December for the North American Leaders’ Summit (NALS). According to a statement from the US Department of State, the purpose of the meeting was to discuss “bilateral climate cooperation and opportunities to enhance Mexico’s nationally determined contribution, promote zero-emission vehicles, reduce methane emissions, and deepen investment in renewable energy.” The meeting comes ahead of the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP27), which is taking place from 6-18 November in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt.
