What Academia Mexicana de Impacto Ambiental, AC does

Academia Mexicana de Impacto Ambiental, AC (AMIA) is a non-profit civil association (Asociación Civil) and the first institutional guild (asociación gremial) in Mexico dedicated specifically to Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). Its core purpose is to strengthen the EIA instrument through permanent training of EIA professionals and through the issuance of proposals, opinions, and positions on EIA and Strategic Environmental Assessment matters. The organization serves licensed EIA professionals — including consultants, academics, researchers, and government specialists who prepare or evaluate Environmental Impact Assessments — and provides them with a recognized professional community, access to SEMARNAT consultation processes, and engagement on major national infrastructure projects including Tren Maya, NAIM, Dos Bocas, and the AIFA-Pachuca railway.

AMIA does not operate proprietary technology; its offerings are services, publications, and community assets rather than software or algorithms. Its product surface consists of courses, workshops, forums, diploma programs, and national congresses; an institutional repository; a bimonthly public Boletín (currently issue No. 96, May–June 2026); a biweekly member-only AMIActualiza digital update; and a public directory of active members. The ecosystem is supported by 10 collaboration agreements with universities (UPLC, UMA, FUNIBER), professional associations (BMA, CAEM, CBM), an environmental law firm (CEJA), a development foundation (FIDBAN), and the Secretaría del Medio Ambiente del Estado de México, plus an affiliation with the International Association for Impact Assessment (IAIA).

The business model is a recurring annual subscription: members pay $3,800 MXN for calendar year 2026 via bank deposit/transfer or PayPal, with no disclosed tier structure. Distribution is direct-to-individual through the AMIA website, where prospective members complete an online application with a CV and professional license copy. Governance is volunteer-led through a Mesa Directiva on a two-year term (currently 2026-2028) with a Technical Advisory Council and a single paid Gerente General. Revenue, headcount, and founding date are not publicly disclosed.
