AFOLU policy database for EU27.

Abstract
The Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Uses (AFOLU) policy database consists of 724 PaMs reported by the member countries of the European Union, Switzerland, Norway, and the United Kingdom within their Fifth Biennial report (in the Common Tabular Format) (UNFCCC, 2024), and those outlined in the National Energy and Climate Plans (NECPs), which have been integrated into the EEA database of policies and measures (EEA, 2024), with policies updated to 2023. It includes PaMs for the Agriculture and Forestry categories that are planned, adopted, implemented, or expiring after 2022.
The compilation includes PaMs that have a direct impact on emission reduction, as well as those of a fiscal, regulatory, or research nature that contribute indirectly to the achievement of the objectives or lay the groundwork for their future implementation. Notably, 40% of the PaMs have a direct link to some regulatory instrument of the European Union. The selected sources integrate the main PaMs for each country and should have consistency between them.
The developed database was compiled and organized into a single database, avoiding duplications and maintaining the different policies reported by each country, keeping all the relevant information that could potentially be used to model the impact of the PaMs A detailed description of each of the sources used is provided, including their processing, followed by an explanation of how the information was integrated to consolidate the database of AFOLU sector mitigation measures for Europe.
