FAQ
Common questions about climate policy timelines, sources, and how to use this tool.
What is the Climate Policy Timeline Explorer?
It’s a searchable timeline of major climate-related policies by country and year, including incentives, carbon pricing policies, subsidies, regulations, disclosure rules, and net-zero targets.
What counts as a “policy event” in this tool?
A policy event is a notable policy announcement, law, regulation, target, or program launch that affects climate outcomes or climate tech markets (for example: tax credits, carbon taxes, ETS updates, reporting mandates, or national targets).
How are policies categorized (incentive, carbon pricing, regulation, etc.)?
Categories are broad labels to make filtering easier. Some policies fit multiple categories, so tagging is used to capture key themes like EVs, renewables, hydrogen, MRV, or manufacturing.
Where does the data come from?
Each timeline item includes a source link. Sources typically include government sites, legislatures, regulators, and credible institutional references. Always review the source for the official details and current status.
Is this a complete list of all climate policies worldwide?
No. It’s a curated and growing database focused on major, high-impact policy signals. Smaller local policies and fast-changing updates may not be included yet.
Why do some policies appear in multiple years or versions?
Policies often evolve through proposals, announcements, passage, and implementation. The timeline may include multiple milestones for the same policy when each milestone is meaningful.
Can I share filtered timelines with others?
Yes. The tool supports shareable links that preserve your filters (country, policy type, year range, and search keywords).
How should climate startups use this tool?
Use it to spot incentives you can leverage, anticipate reporting requirements, understand market timing, and align your go-to-market strategy with policy tailwinds in your target geography.
