New Cross-Border Partnership on Clean Energy

March 26, 2025

California and the Mexican state of Sonora have announced a partnership aimed at advancing clean energy innovation, strengthening energy supply chains, and expanding access to renewable energy in the region, The Hill reports. The effort aligns with recommendations offered in Issues by Christopher A. Scott and colleagues who led a consensus study by US and Mexican academies of science to identify how the nations can best sustain their shared drylands region. Collaborative success, the authors note, will require approaches that span geographical boundaries, involve experts from varied scientific disciplines, and incorporate input from civil society and the private sector.
