Climate change poses an unprecedented threat for the international system, menacing the most vulnerable elements of societies, and hindering ecosystems’ stability and viability of their biological components. Currently, the Paris Agreement to which Mexico is a member state, offers a framework to foster countries’ efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate global warming. Mexico historically has based its energy security on the exploitation of oil resources but now it requires to bolster a sustained energy transition to comply with this international accord, as well as to reduce its vulnerability to climate change. Carbon capture use and storage could be a strategic tool to help Mexico to approach its reduction targets, while improving its energy security in order to pave the way for an effective energy transition. This research examines this premise by looking into the existing demonstration projects of CO2 sequestration in Mexico
