Government of Mexico City

The Government of Mexico City is the executive administration responsible for public policy, services and regulation across Mexico’s capital. Led by the Head of Government, it oversees areas including environmental protection, waste management, mobility, infrastructure, economic development and public services through a network of secretariats and decentralized agencies. Sustainability is a significant part of the city government’s responsibilities, particularly through environmental and urban policies covering air quality, climate action, waste reduction and circular economy development. In 2026, the administration strengthened source separation requirements for municipal waste and supported circular economy initiatives such as the new waste management model at Chapultepec Forest. These measures form part of a wider effort to reduce disposal, improve material recovery and integrate circularity into public policy.
