Case path: the challenge, the intervention and the outcome.
Critical infrastructure projects — solar plants, mines, industrial plants — depended on agreement with the community that owns the land and on backing from local authorities.
Direct field negotiations: lease renewal with the ejido landowners in Lázaro Cárdenas, Michoacán; a solar panel plant in Valladolid, Yucatán; a gold mine in Alto Lucero, Veracruz; and the operation of a paper mill in Texcoco, State of Mexico.
The projects moved forward with both community and government backing.
