The state is emerging as a national and international benchmark on sustainability issues after state and municipal authorities agreed to fine-tune the organization of the Carbon Forum Mexico 2025, an event to be held on September 10 and 11 at ExpoTampico. The event will bring together more than 3,500 attendees from 30 countries, along with 170 specialized speakers.
In a meeting with the mayors of Tampico, Ciudad Madero, and Altamira, the Secretary of Urban Development and Environment, Karina Lizeth Saldívar Lartigue, emphasized that this forum represents a unique opportunity to position Tamaulipas as a key player in the fight against climate change, promoting the exchange of technology, innovation, and sustainable public policies.
“The forum places us in the global conversation on sustainability and encourages us to continue building a resilient and responsible state for the planet,” stated Saldívar. In turn, the Undersecretary of the Environment, Karl Heinz Becker Hernández, affirmed that this event will mark a turning point in the local climate agenda and “will show the world Tamaulipas’s true commitment to the environment.”
BRT System: Commitment to Modern, Low-Emission Urban Mobility
During the same working session, the progress of the BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) Integrated Transportation System project for the southern metropolitan area of Tamaulipas was presented, with the support of Governor Américo Villarreal Anaya.
The initiative, explained the Undersecretary of Urban Development, Fernando Daniel Páez Suárez, is aligned with the National Mobility Strategy and seeks to move up to 300,000 people daily with a faster, safer, and more sustainable public transportation model.
This system will be key to reducing the carbon footprint in Tampico, Madero, and Altamira by replacing part of the use of private cars with a modern, decent, and accessible mobility option for all sectors.
In addition to state and municipal officials, María Silvia Montalvo Tello, director of IMEPLAN for Southern Tamaulipas, and Humberto Calderón Zúñiga, director of Climate Change Policies at SEDUMA, also participated.
