Climate policy strengthens globally, despite unprecedented contestation in the US and Europe

As countries meet at COP30 in the Amazon, a new Oxford University study gives the most detailed view yet of how different nations’ laws and regulations are aligning – or not – to climate goals. The survey of climate policies across 37 countries (including the whole of the G20) was developed through pro-bono partnerships with dozens of leading law firms around the world. The Climate Policy Monitor is one of the outputs of the Oxford Climate Policy Hub, a research initiative based at the University of Oxford. It aims to build the evidence base and the capacity to advance net zero regulation and policy that is effective, rigorous and equitable.
