Lessons learned
● PACMUN Methodology. Key of success with an evolutive
learning process
● Climate Capacity building. Short time period to develop the
PACMUN document (3-5 months)
● Joint collaboration State Government and Municipal to
develop their Climate Action Planning
● Institutional Sinergies. Multilevel governance and
stakeholders liaison within effective MoU
● Municipal administration continuity (Campeche, Jalisco, etc.)
● Feasibility studies would support the implementation of the
PACMUN mitigation and adaptation actions
