dc.description.abstractCountries are increasingly adopting climate change framework laws to help them achieve their climate goals. Since 1998 - when the first law was adopted - 61 countries (and one regional bloc, the European Union) have enacted framework laws. Half of these have been in the last five years. Framework laws are especially prevalent in the Americas, Western Europe, and the Pacific and are more common among high-income and upper-middle-income countries. They are least common in Africa and the Middle East. This note analyzes 12 key elements of framework laws, covering strategic goals, policy development and execution, evaluation and enforcement. The most frequently included elements are mandates for measurement, reporting, and verification, and strategies and plans; the least common are mandates for national and sectoral targets and risk and vulnerability assessments. This note provides an analytical structure and summary of the latest practice to support countries interested in enacting climate change framework laws.en
