What have been the implications of the experimentation of solar radiation modification in Mexico?
"National governments have to generate a regulation in this regard so that we are not places of experimentation or use of this technology," said Agustin Ávila in reference to the modification of solar radiation in an interview with "C2GTalk." He added that, in the case of the government of Mexico, a sovereign and economically strong nation, they can give themselves the opportunity to not accept this type of experimentation in their national territory.
Agustín Ávila holds a Ph.D. in social sciences and rural development and a Master's degree in rural development from the Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM), and a Bachelor's degree in economics from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). He is currently the general director of climate action policies at the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT) and head of the general directorate of the National Institute of Ecology and Climate Change (INECC). He was general coordinator of the Education and Training Center for Sustainable Development (CECADESU) at SEMARNAT and general director of productive options at the Ministry of Welfare.
In the environmental sector, he has worked in forums, plans and dissemination activities on climate change, community work methodologies, educational programs, training for public servants, coordination of programs, agreements, and strategies for environmental problems throughout different states of the republic. He has collaborated in various media outlets in monitoring and comprehensive and cross-cutting planning to promote the well-being of the population, using his knowledge to highlight the role of indigenous communities in building balance with nature.
