GRACE
Governing the Anthropocene (GRACE) Database
The Governing the Anthropocene (GRACE) Databse provides information of national policy responses for environmental management and protection in 37 countries for the period 1970-2022. It is an extension of the data originally collected in the ENVIPOLCON (Environmental Governance in Europe: The impact of International Institutions and Trade on Policy Convergence) project.
The GRACE data set was originally intended to provide detailed information about the extent of state involvement in addressing environmental problems, but can be used for other more generic purposes as well. Coding of Grace data is based on a set of pre-defined environmental policy problems, for which national-level policy responses have been codified in quantitative indicators.
Funding for GRACE data was provided by grants from the Swedish Research Council (Dnr 2012-05514, 2021-00162_VR) and the Marcus and Marianne Wallenberg Foundation (Dnr 2017-0087)
