Just after two years of its launching, the well-known public-private initiative as the Pilot Voluntary Program of Accounting and Green House Gas Report in Mexico (Program GHG Mexico), has obtained such recognition that the past October 2^nd, of 2006 it has been settled down like a permanent program. This transition was marked by the signature of a new Memorandum of understanding signed by the Secretariat of the Environment and Natural Resources (SEMARNAT), the Consejo Coordinador Empresarial through its Commission of Environmental Studies for Sustainable Development (CESPEDES), the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) and World Resources Institute (WRI).

The recognition to the program stands out by the commitment of the Mexican private sector in focusing efforts for risk management and identification of emission reduction opportunities. Nowadays,  45 companies have registered to the program, 30 of them have confirmed their commitment and awareness against the climatic change, making public its report of GHG inventory.

The past October 2^nd of 2006, the SEMARNAT carried out the second recognition event to the companies that made public their GHG inventory reports The Secretary Luegue Camargo expressed his recognition to the companies and mentioned that it is a unique sample of responsibility, transparency and commitment to conduct battles that entail the reduction of GHG. Also, it made notice the importance of carrying out the real accounting of the emissions, since "what is not measure cannot be controlled", the inventory is the first tool required to determine the potential and the areas of opportunity of reduction of GHG emissions.

The Eleventh Conference of the Participants of the United Nations Frame Convention of the Climatic Change (COP 11) is a historical event where also the First Meeting of the Participants of the Protocol of Kioto was carried out (MOP 1), Program GHG Mexico made presence on December 2th, during a session of parallel events of the COP. For Mexico the COP was an historical event since the enterprise interests were attracted like result of two operational systems of negotiation: the Scheme of Negotiation of the European Panel and the Mechanism of Clean Development. This last tool promotes the sustainable development and the fight against the climate change. 

Both schemes were discussed widely, makings decisions about the operative details. Given the relevance of COP 11 by the decisions made, Program GHG Mexico presented great opportunities for the private sector. The session was preceded by Dr. Fernando Tudela (SEMARNAT), Dr. Jonathan Pershing (WRI), Laurent Corbier (WBCSD), Ing. Lorenzo González Mer (Altos Hornos de Mexico) and Gloria Godinez (of CEMEX). It was presented the importance of the private sector in the problematic of climate change, as well as the benefits for the sector derived of the promotion of the risks associated with GHG.
