LE TOUT EST PLUS GRAND QUE LA SOMME DE SES PARTIES

This report details the institutional frameworks, interministerial committees, and legislative processes used by the United States, United Kingdom, British Columbia, France, Germany, Australia, Denmark, and Singapore to integrate climate action across all government departments.

• The United States employs a whole-of-government approach through the National Climate Task Force (2021), which includes all 13 Secretary-level officials, and the White House Office of Climate Policy, which coordinates the president's climate plan.
• The United Kingdom utilizes a multi-layered coordination system including the Climate Action Strategy Committee (2020) and the Climate Change Act 2008, which establishes carbon neutrality targets and five-year carbon budgets.
• In British Columbia, climate coordination is managed through the Climate Change Secretariat and the Climate Change Accountability Act, which mandates sectoral plans and carbon neutrality for all public bodies.
• France has implemented a 'Plan Climat' (2017) to mobilize all ministries to accelerate the energy transition and implement the Paris Agreement, supported by the High Council for the Climate (2018).
• Germany's 2019 Climate Act assigns specific targets to each ministry; failure to meet these targets requires the ministry to propose an emergency plan for approval by the full cabinet.
• Australia coordinates climate resilience through the Disaster and Climate Resilience Reference Group (2017), which involves 22 agencies and is co-chaired by the Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment and the Department of Home Affairs.
• Denmark uses a Standing Committee on Green Transformation (2019) to ensure all new legislation considers climate change, as required by the Climate Act 2020.
• Singapore employs a National Climate Change Secretariat (2010) under the Prime Minister's Office to ensure strategic alignment across government and a multi-ministerial committee to prepare for climate impacts.
