Description (excerpt):
The GLOBE Climate Legislation Study seeks to provide an authoritative and comprehensive annual audit of climate change‐related laws in the 66 country chapters.
The 4th edition is a major output of The GLOBE Climate Legislation Initiative (GCLI), a policy process to support the advance of climate change legislation in more than 40 countries. The GCLI is running alongside the international negotiations under the Durban Platform with the aim of helping to build the foundations and political conditions that enable an international agreement to be reached.
Legislative action at the national level is fundamental to achieving the ultimate goal of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change – the stabilisation of GHG concentrations in the atmosphere at a level that would prevent dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system.
