This project gave insight into how some countries are developing framework laws that address challenges related to inclusivity. Such laws may provide useful reference points for legislators elsewhere who seek to design climate laws for a more just and equitable transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Governing the climate emergency is no easy task. By its nature, climate change is a multi-faceted and complex phenomenon that poses constantly evolving, unprecedented threats to all life on Earth. In response to this, countries must undertake transformative actions to shift to decarbonised and climate-resilient societies within an urgent and ever-diminishing timeframe. Yet such deep societal reorganisation gives rise to a set of thorny governance challenges that governments need to overcome to ensure that their climate responses are effective. While responses must be context-specific, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lse.ac.uk\/granthaminstitute\/publication\/climate-governance-functions-towards-context-specific-climate-laws\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lse.ac.uk\/granthaminstitute\/publication\/climate-governance-functions-towards-context-specific-climate-laws\/\">it has been argued that<\/a> the challenges themselves are quite similar in nature and commonly relate to the need for coordination across levels of government and economic sectors; the high threshold of scientific and technical knowledge required to inform viable policy pathways; and management and alignment of a wide array of competing interests before strategies can be implemented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although there is no &lsquo;one-size-fits-all&rsquo; approach to successful climate governance, many countries have opted to lay the foundation for these economy-wide transformations through the introduction of climate change framework laws, which are designed to counter at least some of the challenges detailed above. It is widely recognised that these laws play an important <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lse.ac.uk\/granthaminstitute\/publication\/world-bank-reference-guide-to-climate-change-framework-legislation-english\/\">&lsquo;agenda-setting&rsquo; role<\/a> in a country&rsquo;s climate response. In so doing, they outline the country&rsquo;s overarching climate objectives, including the setting of net zero or other long-term emissions reduction targets; allocate responsibilities to various actors within the governance ecosystem; and frequently create new mechanisms and institutions (or revise existing ones) for administering climate policies and strategies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally, a framework law should also draw on a <a class=\"link link--external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/09644016.2021.1979775\" aria-describedby=\"link-description-new-window\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">climate politics narrative&#65279;<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 16 16\" role=\"img\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M14.42 1.04L3.2.7a.8.8 0 00-.8.76v.1a.8.8 0 00.76.7l9.39.3L.93 14.16c-.3.3-.3.8 0 1.1l.09.08c.3.23.73.2 1.01-.07L13.65 3.65l.29 9.4a.8.8 0 00.8.76.79.79 0 00.77-.8L15.17 1.8a.82.82 0 00-.75-.76z\" fill=\"#2e3152\"><\/path><\/svg><\/a> that resonates with the domestic public to improve the likelihood that the law will be implemented, in addition to avoiding potential backlash. This can be achieved in many ways but may involve engaging in deliberative processes in the hope they coordinate a wide array of competing interests. By aligning a more inclusive approach to <em>whose<\/em> interests are represented in their framework laws, legislators can set out a pathway for achieving decarbonisation and climate resilience alongside the pursuit of more just and equitable outcomes for all of society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In our review of framework climate legislation for UNEP, we observed a few particularly interesting provisions that adopt inclusive approaches, some of which are highlighted below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Embedding gender representation in climate institutions<\/strong> <strong>in the Philippines<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is <a class=\"link link--external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unwomen.org\/en\/news-stories\/explainer\/2022\/02\/explainer-how-gender-inequality-and-climate-change-are-interconnected\" aria-describedby=\"link-description-new-window\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">widely recognised&#65279;<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 16 16\" role=\"img\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><path d=\"M14.42 1.04L3.2.7a.8.8 0 00-.8.76v.1a.8.8 0 00.76.7l9.39.3L.93 14.16c-.3.3-.3.8 0 1.1l.09.08c.3.23.73.2 1.01-.07L13.65 3.65l.29 9.4a.8.8 0 00.8.76.79.79 0 00.77-.8L15.17 1.8a.82.82 0 00-.75-.76z\" fill=\"#2e3152\"><\/path><\/svg><\/a> that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lse.ac.uk\/granthaminstitute\/news\/why-do-we-need-to-accelerate-the-mainstreaming-of-gender-into-climate-action\/\">climate change exacerbates gender inequality<\/a>.

Section 93(2) further specifies that &ldquo;all affected landholders shall participate and benefit from the incentives of a climate change-related project implemented on land or at sea&rdquo;.
