The OECD Climate Policy Dashboard provides a structured and comparable overview of climate mitigation policies under the Inclusive Forum on Carbon Mitigation Approaches (IFCMA). The first release compiles over 1,600 mitigation policy instruments and more than 10,000 policy sub-schemes, with fully validated data currently available for 38 countries, and broader coverage extending to 60 IFCMA participants. Policies are systematically classified using a standardized typology covering 3 instrument categories—economic, regulatory, information—organized into 7 groups and 43 policy approaches. Each instrument is described through harmonized attributes, including regulated agents (e.g. households or firms), targeted assets (such as fuels, equipment, or emissions), and policy intensity, enabling detailed cross-country comparison. While the dashboard primarily focuses on energy, transport, and buildings, it offers a transparent foundation for assessing policy mixes, benchmarking mitigation strategies, and examining coherence across sectors. The platform supports evidence-based policy learning and is expected to expand in coverage and analytical depth over time.
