The “Climate Policy and Regulation Updates” section of Policy Watch provides real-time updates on global climate policies, regulations, and international agreements. Utilizing data from the Climate Watch API and Our World in Data, this tool tracks Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), agri-environmental policies, and local disaster risk reduction strategies. It offers comparative analysis of national climate strategies, monitoring compliance with international agreements, and tracking policy changes related to emissions targets. Users receive alerts on new regulations, enabling them to stay informed on evolving climate policies and their global impacts.

Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs)

The Chart provides an interactive platform to explore and compare countries’ climate action plans under the Paris Agreement. NDCs outline each country’s commitments to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to climate change. The tool allows users to view detailed information on the targets and measures proposed by various countries, assess progress toward these goals, and analyze the overall ambition and effectiveness of global climate commitments. By exploring this data, users can gain insights into how different nations are planning to address climate change and track their contributions to international climate goals.

Agri-environmental policies weighted by their intensity

This Chart shows the intensity of agricultural environmental policies across different countries. It measures how strongly countries are implementing policies aimed at reducing the environmental impact of agriculture. The data reveals variations in policy intensity, with some countries adopting more stringent measures to address issues such as pollution, land use, and sustainability in agriculture. The chart highlights the relationship between policy intensity and environmental outcomes, underscoring the role of effective agricultural policies in mitigating environmental impacts and promoting sustainable farming practices.

Number of local governments with disaster risk reduction strategies

The chart shows the proportion of local governments that have adopted and implemented local disaster risk reduction (DRR) strategies in line with national DRR strategies. The chart aims to track the progress of local governments in building resilience and reducing disaster risk in their communities.
