This database compiles 2,726 nitrogen policies from 186 countries, sourced from FAOLEX data as made available via the ECOLEX database, originally provided by Kanter et al, 2020 and subsequently extended for South Asia by the GCRF South Asian Nitrogen Hub by Yang et al. 2022 (966 N policies). The database is searchable by country, keyword, date, policy instrument, economic sector and geographical scale.
