Is there a legal framework that supports the implementation of long term sustainable policies?
The Ministry of the Environment, through the Office of Climate Change, is leading the process of drafting the Framework Law on Climate Change, through a broad multisectoral process, in order to gather the vision and experience of key players from diverse parts of Chilean society.
This law, that was entered into the Congress in January 2020, seeks to establish the principles, governance system, management process and adequate financing mechanisms to allow for the transition to a low-carbon future, while reducing vulnerability, increasing resilience and complying with Chile’s international commitments to addressing climate change.
