Climate Policy Radar provides an open, AI‑enhanced database of climate‑related laws, policies, and international agreements, making over 30,000 documents searchable across 99 countries and multiple languages. Its NLP pipelines extract key policy attributes and link related texts, while an interactive web app and forthcoming API enable governments, researchers, NGOs, and businesses to locate evidence, compare approaches, and support evidence‑based climate action.

Problem
Data on climate laws, policies, and international agreements is fragmented, sparse, and difficult to access, limiting the ability of decision‑makers to identify which policies are effective in addressing climate change.
Solution
Climate Policy Radar builds open, AI‑enhanced databases that collect, structure, and make searchable the full text of climate‑related legislation, policies, and agreements from around the world. Using natural language processing, the platform extracts key information from long‑form documents, links related texts, and provides multilingual search capabilities. The resulting datasets are available through a web application and, soon, an API that allows external systems to integrate the data directly. By offering transparent, openly licensed data and analytical tools, the service enables governments, researchers, NGOs, and the private sector to locate evidence, compare policy approaches, and support evidence‑based climate action.
Target Audience
Primary users include government agencies, international organisations, academic researchers, civil‑society groups, and private‑sector entities that need reliable, searchable climate policy data to inform analysis, reporting, and decision‑making.
