Abstract: Sharing experiences â?? particularly on the merits of different legislative approaches,lessons learnt,and good practices â?? can help drive efficient and successful implementation of climate action on the ground,and ultimately more ambitious action under the Paris Agreement. This policy brief considers the experience of four countries in Sub-Saharan Africa that have completed or initiated the process of developing framework laws: Kenya (the first country in Africa to adopt a climate change framework law),Eswatini,Nigeria,and Uganda.
