Methodology for the identification and quantification of green budget – expenditure actions and their environmental impact

The General Objective of the project is to develop criteria for identification and quantification of revenue-expenditure actions and their environmental impact.

To this end, Metroeconomica developed an international comparative analysis (benchmarking) of the implementation of the Green Budget, incorporating, but not limited to, the elements considered by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD, 2018). The team also identified duplications at federal, state, and municipal levels of policies, instruments, and actions in terms of revenue and public expenditure aimed at achieving the environmental objectives defined based on an inventory of these policies, instruments, and actions. Benchmarks were determined, as well as a sectoral/social structure linked to environmental objectives and public spending and revenue policies, instruments, and actions, as well as the environmental effects of the latter. Finally, a methodology was generated for the implementation of the Green Budget (GB) in Mexico that includes expenditure and revenue analysis (tax and non-tax), as well as indicators of environmental objectives, the impacts of measures expressed in environmental units.
