About This Statistic

Environmental Policy Stringency Index: Policy stringency — Emission limit value sulphur. Unit: 0-6 scale. Exact fixed dimensions are recorded in selectedDimensions.

MapTheory uses only finite ISO-mapped observations from the fixed 2020 OECD slice recorded below. Aggregates, missing values, non-ISO geographies, conflicting duplicate observations, and every other year or dimension slice are excluded; MapTheory never imputes or interpolates missing countries.
