Climate Policy Database

What do you need to know about the database?

The database contains national mitigation policies and is updated regularly. Planned policies are not included in the database, except for energy and emissions targets for the post-2020 period, reported as nationally determined contributions (INDCs).

Database Administrator:

The Climate Policy Database is maintained by NewClimate Institute with support from Wageningen University and PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency. It aims to gather information on climate mitigation policies and benchmark these against a policy matrix representing a comprehensive policy package to mitigate climate change. The database covers national mitigation-related policies and is updated periodically. Planned policies are excluded, except for Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs) for the post-2020 period.
