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 pro-vided in this paper for 74 countries from 20 0 0 to 2020. The data include the index values from four statistical mod-els used to calculate the composite index as described in [3] . The four alternative statistical approaches were designed to experiment with alternative weighting assumptions and il-lustrate 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. Researchers could use the data provided in this paper to study green financial policies fur-ther and compare countries, highlighting engagement in spe-cific policy areas or the entire spectrum of climate-related finance policy. Moreover, the data might be used to investi-gate the relationship between green finance policy adoption and credit market changes and assess their effectiveness in managing credit and financial cycles in the face of climate risks.(c) 2023 The Author(s).
