The oil-dependent U.S. national and energy security policies that have helped achieve American military and economic greatness are no longer sustainable; in fact, uncovering the hidden costs of our oil addiction reveals many insecurities. In order to progress towards true energy independence, the U.S. must overcome its congressional in-fighting, and kick-start its promising array of green technology and clean energy systems. Military-public collaborations with the private sector have the potential to advance the clean energy market at a low costs to all actors.

In the absence of a commonly agreed definition, this article will loosely define criteria for these "climate framework laws." This article identifies several countries that have adopted climate framework laws of this type: The United Kingdom, Mexico, New Zealand, and Denmark. These countries form a small case set from which to compare elements. From existing scholarship, this article draws on what lessons can be learned from their implementation. Whether the law is new or two decades old, each faces particular challenges and shortcomings. Climate framework laws create new risks but also incur a number of benefits that may be unique to them. This article examines the relationship between climate framework laws and the Paris Agreement, as well as implications for climate litigation. Finally, the article touches on the future of climate framework laws in other countries.
