Least developing countries leading the charge in climate change legislation.
Least developing countries face unique challenges in climate policy due to their low emissions and high vulnerability to climate impacts. Transitioning to a low-carbon economy can help with both reducing emissions and adapting to climate change. However, integrating climate change into development plans is still a challenge for many of these countries. While some are considering dedicated climate laws, most climate action is currently done through policies and executive actions rather than formal laws.
