Climate Policy Radar

Countries pledged to halt & reverse biodiversity loss by 2030. But what are they writing into law & policy? Today at #COP17 we're launching the Nature Policy Library: 3,000+ national laws & policies on biodiversity, open & searchable in one place. 👉 bit.ly/4ijOyMK #COP17Armenia #BiodiversityAction

Did you know you can see the performance of every live text classifier behind the Topics feature in our tools? 👉 Check out the performance metrics & let us know what you think: lnkd.in/ev-VUvKy

102 new mitigation-focused laws & policies added to CPR from @newclimate.bsky.social's Climate Policy Database - from Bhutan's National Energy Policy, aiming for 25,000 MW renewable capacity by 2040, to Kenya's National Energy Compact, targeting 100% clean electricity & clean cooking access by 2030.

🆕 If you download our data, this one's for you: exports now update daily, so you always get the latest version - no more waiting on a weekly refresh. We've also refined the CSV format based on your feedback, with a cleaner structure & clearer fields.

Every 6 months, we refresh CPR with the latest regs from Gold Standard's Carbon Market Regulations Tracker. Find 22 new additions, inc. Indonesia's new forestry trading rules (targeting climate mitigation action across 48.69M hectares of forest) & Paraguay's new carbon credit registry (Res. 047).

🌐 Growing our ecosystem: we've officially launched the Climate Council Report Library, in collaboration with the @climatecouncils.bsky.social. Explore the Library: app.climatepolicyradar.org/iccn

The ICCN brings together climate councils from across the world to strengthen #climategovernance. Our new open-access library makes their collective work across 30+ regions searchable & comparable, enabling councils to learn from each other's approaches & build on shared knowledge.

2026 is a triple COP year, with world leaders meeting three times to address the interconnected crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, & land degradation. On Friday at #SB64, this made for one of the most energising sessions we've been part of: 'Advancing synergies across the #RioConventions’.

It’s why we launched #RioPolicyRadar, bringing together country submissions to all three Rio Conventions in a single, searchable platform. Our founder explained to the room how this removes the practical barriers to designing, implementing, & reporting on policies across climate, nature, & land.

Implementation, financing, policy coherence, participation - core themes echoing through conversations at #SB64. Yesterday, we co-hosted a side event on DPI & the Belém Technology Implementation Programme, exploring how to make sure technology solutions actually unlock climate action on the ground.

➕ Technology can simultaneously address and exacerbate inequalities. The global #climatecommunity must be thoughtful and attuned to this tension, setting measurable indicators early on to understand impact, with the humility to course-correct.

Implementation, financing, policy coherence, participation - core themes echoing through conversations at #SB64. Yesterday, we co-hosted a side event on DPI & the Belém Technology Implementation Programme, exploring how to make sure technology solutions actually unlock climate action on the ground.

A few things that stayed with us: ➕ Open DPI levels the playing field, but deployment has to be intentional. Capacity building, co-creation of solutions, and clear KPIs from the outset are as important as the technology itself.

Want to know how to maximise impact by keeping your data systems boring, so you can use your data in more exciting ways? This Sunday, three of our data engineering team Fred O'Loughlin, @kaparker.bsky.social, & Mark Cottam will be making the case for boring tech @pydatalondon.bsky.social.

📢 Call for papers: ClimateNLP workshop at @emnlpmeeting.bsky.social Now in its third edition, #ClimateNLP brings together those working at the intersection of NLP & climate. This October, CPR’s @kdutia.bsky.social will be co-hosting at #EMNLP, one of the world's leading NLP conferences.

The workshop itself is cross-disciplinary: we actively welcome submissions from NGOs, industry, & academia. To make that easier, we've put together a starting set of topics and relevant literature. ‼️ Submissions close 15 July. Find everything you need here: nlp4climate.github.io/

The Sustainability Transition team at @fau.de is working with NFDI4Energy to build energy policy datasets in Germany & beyond. Their goal is to support better decision-making based on evidence, from climate & energy targets, to regulations for where clean energy technologies can & cannot be built.

They've been using CPR to find policies they might otherwise have missed, & to access original documents that simply aren't available elsewhere. 👉 See how they & others are using CPR & in particular our Topics function: climatepolicyradar.org/latest/climate-policy-radar-100-topics-accessible-search

Each session at this week's #NatureTechUnconference is shaped by members of a community making real movement towards a nature-positive future. They’ll then be reshaped & remixed by the people in the room.

100 Topics. 100 "smart search terms". 100 individual words & phrases connected to a whole web of meaning - related terms, regional variations, expert knowledge - so when you search our 35,000+ climate, nature, & development documents, you can find what matters.
