The GLOBE Climate Legislation Study seeks to provide an annual audit of climate change‐related laws in 66 country chapters. Particularly positive changes are identified in Sub-Saharan Africa where national strategies and plans are being formed in almost all the study countries, as the basis for future legislation.In Latin America, plans are beginning to transform into concrete legislation, notably Bolivia’s Framework Law on Mother Earth and Integral Development to Live Well and Costa Rica’s anticipated Framework Law on Climate Change, building on the substantial progress in Mexico reported in the third edition of the report.
