GLOBE Climate Study reveals legislators hold the key to tackling Climate Change
Today the Global Legislators Organisation (GLOBE International) released the 3rd edition of its Climate Legislation Study – produced in partnership with the Grantham Research Institute at the London School of Economics.
This is the most comprehensive research project that audits climate legislation across the world’s major developed and emerging economies.
Results in the 3rd edition of the study show:
- 32 of 33 major economies have progressed or are progressing significant climate and/or energy-related legislation.
- Much of the substantive progress on legislative activity on climate change in 2012 took place in emerging economies.
- This progress will deliver real benefits to national economies and give world leaders the political space to go further and faster in the UN negotiations.
The new edition of the study was formally launched at the 1st GLOBE Climate Legislation Summit which started today at the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London and will conclude tomorrow.
The study was produced with the support of the Climate Development Knowledge Network (CDKN), the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office and Zennström Philanthropies.
