- Statement
- The data generated built on an existing open access global nitrogen policy database developed by Kanter et al. (2020) that contains 51 policies for South Asia established up until 2017 sourced by the environmental law ECOLEX database. The next step for data collection included the establishment of an adjusted policy collection protocol providing guidance on nitrogen relevant policies established up until December 2019, identifying potential policy sources. A further 915 policies were collected from mostly online sources: such as the international policy database FAOLEX, national government and ministry websites, and the ECOLEX database. The descriptive policy information compiled into the database included: policy title, related URL, data of establishment, policy end date (if applicable), country name, policy coverage (national or sub-national), language and ministry responsible. The identification of policy text type (i.e. legislation, policy, regulation miscellaneous) and source type (1 = ECOLEX/FAOLEX, 2 = other) involved a context-based classification. Please note all policies from ECOLEX were originally sourced by FAOLEX. According to the protocols specified criteria policies were checked and filtered. A coordinator conducted further internal checks to ensure consistency and identify any search gaps (e.g. missing sectors) before moving onto the next steps. The next step was to conduct a content-based classification of the policies according to the policies objectives and proposals. Following a similar approach designed by Kanter et al. (2020) policies are classified according to policy type, sector focus, and environmental objectives. Additional classifications are applied, including: impact direction, pollution target source, relevance and impact scope. Internal and external checks were provided to ensure that policies were classified consistently. Data limitations are acknowledged for both the collection and classification processes. The collection of nitrogen relevant policies are recognised to not be 100% complete due to the dependency on online availability of policy texts and gaps in existing databases. The classifications could also be subjective. Random internal and external checks, along the different data processing steps, aimed to mitigate this risk. The relevance and impact of certain policies could vary according to country context therefore there was inevitability some variability in analysts judgements between countries.
