“In a step towards tackling the pressing issue of the climate crises, the National Assembly passed the Climate Change Bill on Tuesday. This proposed legislation aims to establish a comprehensive legal and institutional framework that will guide the nation’s response to the climate crisis, aligning with the principles of sustainable development and cooperative governance. The Climate Change Bill features a range of critical provisions, outlining its objectives, principles, and applications. Key aspects of the legislation include policy alignment, institutional arrangements, climate crisis responses at provincial and municipal levels, national adaptation strategies, greenhouse gas emissions management, and transitional arrangements. In this conversation, we talk about the main provisions and key elements of the bill.”
