IAM_COMPACT_Recovery_Packages_Database

The global recovery database was created to provide a comprehensive and reliable repository of information and data on the economic green recovery measures implemented by governments worldwide in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. This entailed activities such as data collection, classification, and analysis to gather, categorise, and organise the green recovery packages and to examine their potential impacts on the low-carbon transition. The development of the database is based on a rigorous approach to identify and synthesize data from diverse, reputable sources. These sources were systematically examined, ensuring a broad and representative dataset of almost all countries globally. Specifically, the announced measures that are included in the developed database, account for 86% of global population and 94% of global GDP.
