Nations across the world have increasingly adopted climate change laws over the last two decades.

In implementing the CCA 2021, the government through the provisions of the Act, clearly acknowledges the importance of public participation and mandates MDAs, and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to adopt certain climate mitigation policies in its operations.

The CCA 2021 sets out a compliance framework for climate change obligations for different sectors in the Country including; the Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs), public entities, and private entities.
