Abstract: This paper examines sustainability performance of the Mexican economy from the perspective of three international indexes. Information were gathered from reports published by: Environmental Performance Index, Global Green Economy Index, Carbon Monitoring for Action and the National and Latin- American indexes. The objective was to determine Mexico’s levels of performance in each index analyzed and contrast these performances with research results obtained in the northern part of the country. This research used an exploratory and descriptive approach to analyze information obtained from databases. Among the main conclusions, is identification of the most important programs and polices needed for the improvement of the country´s sustainability performance.
