Guide to Legislation Eligible for Climate Change Law

Guide to Legislation Eligible for Climate Change Law

Summary: A guide by Jean André Victor, produced under the National Adaptation Plan project in 2022, setting out which parts of existing Haitian law can carry climate change obligations and how climate risk can be integrated into them.
Full Description

The guide works through the scope of Haitian environmental law, the law of pollution and nuisance, and the fundamentals of climate change law, using the 1998 Francophone compendium as its reference point. Its practical use is as a map of which existing instruments could be amended rather than replaced. The UNDP page titles it as a guide to integrating climate risk into Haitian law; the document's own title page calls it a guide to legislation eligible for climate change law, and that title is used here.
