The State of Veracruz is one of the most vulnerable states to Climate Change impacts in Mexico. Since 2009, it has been pioneer for establishing CC policy and legal instruments such as the Veracruz Program of Climate Change (PVCC) and the State Law for Mitigation and Adaptation of the Effects of Climate Change (2010, LE-MAECC).

The government of Veracruz requires instruments that allow to keep track on the implementation of the Sectorial Agendas on CC and to observe and inform changes within its territory on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions levels and on adaptation.

The MRV and M&E system is composed of 19 key sectorial agendas for CC, meanwhile the SI: Adapt-Ver complements information on adaptation for the state observing 6 categories previously settled.
