Robust legislative frameworks, both climate change specific and non- specific, can foster adaptive responses to climate change, particularly in LDCs .

The successful implementation of policy objectives across the continent is often contingent upon or at least supported by an underlying legislative framework . There are also wider systemic and structural reasons for developing climate change legislation, including the promotion of coordination within government, its policy entrenching role, its symbolic value and its potential to support climate finance flows .
