The Tijuana government has formalized a partnership with the environmental nonprofit Nación Verde A.C., signing a cooperation agreement aimed at strengthening sustainable development efforts across the city.
The agreement was signed under Mayor Ismael Burgueño Ruiz’s administration through the city’s Department of Environmental Protection and is intended to combine public and civil resources to address Tijuana’s environmental challenges.
Environmental Protection Secretary María Fernanda Sandoval Aldana said the partnership reflects a broader push to involve civil society and academic institutions in local environmental policy. She noted that joint projects are already being planned, including a post-holiday Christmas tree collection and recycling campaign.
City officials said the agreement will focus on practical initiatives related to conservation, ecological restoration, and sustainable urban development, with particular attention to urban forestry, public environmental education, and technical training.
Cruz Ángel Montoya Martínez, director of Environmental Protection, said environmental challenges require coordinated action between government and civil organizations.
Nación Verde Director Octavio López Coronel said the organization welcomed the city’s collaborative approach, emphasizing that long-term environmental progress depends on sustained cooperation between public institutions and community groups.
Several representatives from Nación Verde attended the signing ceremony, including officials responsible for network coordination, commercial development, and operations.
