Mexican entrepreneur Daniel Madariaga Barrilado, a specialist in sustainable tourism, green buildings, and sustainable mobility, highlighted the urgency of coordinated climate action to address climate change challenges, both globally and in Mexico.
His remarks were made in the context of the 2024 Annual Climate Change Report prepared by Sustentabilidad Sin Fronteras.
Daniel Madariaga Barrilado emphasized the urgency of coordinated climate action at both the global and national levels.
The report addresses global progress, such as the agreements reached at COP28, held in Dubai, where a fund for climate-related loss and damage was established and commitments were promoted to accelerate the transition to clean energy.
According to Madariaga, these advances should serve as a model for implementing effective solutions in Mexico, where unstable energy policies and extreme weather events are worsening the crisis.
“The world has moved from global warming to the era of global boiling,” Madariaga warned, citing data from the World Meteorological Organization and recent statements by the United Nations.
In this context, the report analyzes the global and national outlook through 20 specialized articles on sustainable finance, climate justice, biodiversity, and local action.
Madariaga stressed that addressing the crisis requires “building bridges between science, international agreements, the private and public sectors, and NGOs,” as well as promoting an energy transition that includes alternatives such as solar and nuclear energy.
He also called for strengthening community resilience through ambitious and coordinated public policies.
The report concludes with an urgent call to all sectors of society to confront the triple planetary crisis—climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution—emphasizing that only a few critical years remain to reverse the current course.
Daniel Madariaga is a sustainable development advocate who promotes responsible investment as a tool to drive economic growth while preserving Mexico’s natural and cultural heritage.
