Dataset for the climate-related financial policy index (CRFPI)

Data on the climate-related financial policy index (CRFPI) - comprising the global climate-related financial policies adopted globally and the bindingness of the policy - are provided for 74 countries from 2000 to 2020. The data include the index values from four statistical models used to calculate the composite index as described in D’Orazio and Thole 2022. The four alternative statistical approaches were designed to experiment with alternative weighting assumptions and illustrate how sensitive the proposed index is to changes in the steps followed to construct it. The index data shed light on countries’ engagement in climate-related financial planning and highlight policy gaps in relevant policy sectors.
