The East African Community is drafting a bill aimed at mitigating climate change among its five regional members. The bill is expected to take 1-2 years before it is passed into an Act. Once the law is in place, member states will be able to locate resources for climate management and implement international mitigation strategies. In addition to these initiatives, there are also initiatives that have been undertaken by individual countries or regions.
