    This report summarizes a case study of the Mexican ejidocommunity tenure system. Mexico was selected for this case study because of the rich history and extensive scale of the country’s community land tenure and registration systems. This community system covers 52% of the area of Mexico, roughly equivalent to the size of Egypt, and comprises over 30 000 communities. The ejido system emanated from the Mexican revolution (1910-1917) and represents a case where the customary system of land has been largely integrated into the statutory system.

    The paper estimates the effects on
    presidential election returns in Mexico of a government
    climatic contingency transfer that is allocated through
    rainfall-indexed insurance. The analysis uses the
    discontinuity in payments that slightly deviate from a
    pre-established threshold, based on rainfall accumulation
    measured at local weather stations. It turns out that
    voters reward the incumbent presidential party for

    industrial policies, and forestry and natural resources
    management. Its Climate Change Law and the National
    Strategy on Climate Change envision is changing the upward

    Mexico needs to broaden and deepen its
    financial system without compromising the financial
    stability gains of the last decade. Much more private
    investment is needed to transform the economy to boost
    productivity, and despite improvements in recent years, many
    households and firms still lack adequate access to financial
    services. Strengthening competition and streamlining key
    regulations for firms are key to increasing Mexico's

    Bank's vantage point. It distills the main messages in
    the policy notes that make up this compendium. The purpose
    is not to provide definitive answers to the many policy
    questions likely to occupy the New Mexican administration,

    This documented case of climate change
    adaptation in Campeche Mexico grapples with a problem that
    is fundamental to addressing climate change risks in areas
    of high vulnerability, which is how to reach consensus and
    take decisions under an uncertain future. The state of
    Campeche in Mexico, is used as an example. With its long
    coastline, Campeche is highly vulnerable to current and
    projected future climate threats. Two different approaches

    This paper examines the effects of
    climate change on poverty through the relationship between
    indicators of climate change (temperature and rainfall
    change) and municipal level gross domestic product, and
    subsequently between gross domestic product and poverty. The
    evidence suggests that climate change could have a negative
    impact on poverty by 2030. The paper proposes a two-stage
    least squares regression where it first regresses

    its first project, the Fundacion imported high-yield
    blueberry plants from the United States, started a nursery,
    and gave the plants to local farmers who were capable of
