U.S.-Mexico Environmental Program: Border 2025 Border 2025 is a collaborative effort of the United States and Mexico to improve the environment along their 1,950-mile border and protect the health of the nearly 15 million people living in the region. To support EPA and SEMARNAT in achieving their objectives, NADBank provides services to facilitate stakeholder meetings, as well as to identify, contract and manage projects.
The Border 2025 Program is the latest environmental program implemented under the 1983 La Paz Agreement. Building on the previous Border 2012 and Border 2020 environmental programs, it takes a regional, bottom-up approach to decision-making, priority setting and project implementation to address environmental and public health issues in the border region.
As under the previous two border programs, Border 2025 encourages meaningful participation from communities and local stakeholders. Border 2025 focuses on regional areas where environmental improvements are needed the most: establishing thematic goals, supporting the implementation of projects, considering new fundamental strategies, and encouraging the achievement of more ambitious environmental and public health goals.
