Today for Tough Times Tuesday, we look beyond the initial glow of Mexico's latest presidential contest to consider the depth of the challenge that lies ahead for this climate scientist in office.
When juggling the urgency of climate change mitigation alongside the inevitability of other political priorities, can Claudia Sheinbaum reverse course in time, or will middle-of-the-road solutions triumph again?

It's going to be very interesting to see her approach, and how she both balances climate change with other governing priorities and manages public resistance to the needed changes.
"Cartels" come in many forms, and I have a sneaking suspicion there are some entrenched power brokers in the state-owned petroleum and electricity monopolies who are going to be just as tricky to manage as many of the crime syndicates not operating under formal state sanction.
As Tyghe notes, this is going to be one to watch! And all our best wishes are indeed for her success.
