Mexico 2026

墨西哥

Mexico (México) enters 2027 with 130.9 million residents, a median age of 32 and a multidimensional poverty rate that fell to 29.6% in 2024. Its 系统 are tied to those of its northern neighbour.

01 · Readings

Mexico in six readings.

Six readings that frame the Mexico baseline, and the eight questions this edition answers, each with its status and source.

  • 32年median age, 2025 [1]
  • 29.6%multidimensional poverty, 2024 [2]

  • 32entitiesfederal entities and 2,478 municipalities [1]

02 · Sectors

Six sectors, one hexagon.

Water first, then Energy, Infrastructure, Food, Health and Biodiversity. Each count is the findings of this edition in that sector: coverage of the evidence, never a score. Infrastructure is not assessed: the edition holds no Infrastructure finding and its coupling matrix does not assess it.

03 · Hazard exposure

The hazards this edition reads.

The edition’s own risk objects, in its order, each read across driver, exposure, vulnerability, capacity, cascade and horizon. The hexagon marks the sectors the cascade reaches; the domain beside each is an editorial reading of its hazard words.

Scenario · SCN-MEX-DRT-01

Multi-year drought on a gas-reliant grid

Under this scenario, results describe a conditional season under stated assumptions. It is not a forecast, and no intervention described here has been carried out.

4 of 12 findings name a hazard in their text. Show them

  1. 1CLI → WATdrought lowers storage and river flows
  2. 2WAT → FOOirrigation and rain-fed yields fall; crop loss rises
  3. 3WAT → ENEhydropower falls and cooling water is constrained
  4. 4CLI → ENEheat raises power demand on a gas-reliant grid
  5. 5WAT → TRDshared-river shortfalls enter trade negotiation
  6. 6HLT → populationwater and heat stress fall on the 34.2% without health access

04 · Couplings

How the sectors carry risk into each other.

The Mexico matrix types the twenty couplings between the five core 系统. Strengths are Nexus estimates from the cited evidence and analogue events; they set the starting graph that the Q1 2027 Foundry cut will test.

CLI-003墨西哥CLI Climate forcing 报告值Mexico’s 2035 contribution sets net emissions of 364–404 MtCO₂e unconditionally and 332–363 conditionally; the 2030 limit is 644 MtCO₂e gross.
WAT-004墨西哥WAT 水 报告值The 2020–2025 Rio Grande cycle closed with 0.88 million acre-feet delivered against 1.75 owed; Mexico committed in February 2026 to annual deliveries of at least 0.35.

SEI-006墨西哥SEI SEI 报告值Parts of Mexico City sink by up to 50 cm a year, and a magnitude 7.1 地震 on 19 September 2017 triggered emergency declarations in 112 municipalities of Puebla.
CLI-007墨西哥CLI Climate forcing 报告值飓风 Otis made landfall at Acapulco as a category 5 storm in October 2023; heavy rain in October 2025 left 72 dead and 48 missing in four states.
FOO-008墨西哥FOO 食品 报告值A constitutional amendment of March 2025 bars planting genetically modified maize, and the United States suspended Mexican live-cattle imports from 11 May 2025 over screwworm.
HLT-009墨西哥HLT 卫生 报告值In 2024, 14.4% of the population lacked access to nutritious food and 34.2% lacked access to health services.
BIO-010墨西哥BIO 生物多样性 报告值Of 232 federal protected areas, 94 had no management programme in 2026, and spending was 16.2 pesos per protected hectare.
FIN-011墨西哥FIN 金融 报告值The government holds US$420 million of World Bank parametric catastrophe bonds for 地震 and Atlantic storms, maturing in April 2028.
SYS-012墨西哥SYS 系统性 Expert inputThe leading compound pathway for 2027 testing is a multi-year drought that cuts irrigation and hydropower while heat lifts power demand on a gas-reliant grid.
