Mexico has an important commitment to the fulfilment of the International Agendas focused on addressing multidimensional problems in which the territorial scope is a key component. The 2030 Agenda, the Paris Agreement, the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction and the New Urban Agenda (NUA), are some of the references to guide territorial planning and urban development public policies in Mexico and to orient Mexican cities towards prosperity, inclusion, sustainability and resilience.
