Nations have passed almost 500 laws to tackle climate change, with emerging economies led by Mexico and China making the most progress last year, a study by Globe International found.

A total of 62 out of the 66 countries examined have passed or are working on “significant” climate or energy-related laws, Globe said today in a report. Venezuela, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Canada lack “flagship” legislation, according to the group, an alliance of global lawmakers.
