Detailed explanation-1: -By installing renewable energy units like solar panels and solar heaters across the city in private and public buildings over five years, the city aims to slash carbon emissions by 2 million tons to improve air quality in Mexico City.
Detailed explanation-2: -The city administration and the Mexican government responded to these levels by initiating ProAire, a programme to address pollution on several fronts, including: reducing industrial and automobile emissions; raising public awareness; promoting cleantech and green methods of transport.
Detailed explanation-3: -“The main challenge is still to continue growing economically while emitting less. This applies to climate change as much as air quality. We have to use renewable energy, alternative sources, reduce vehicle use and use mass transport systems.” According to Martínez a cooperative effort is needed.
