For institutions
Green Diplomat turns verified legal records into answers that ministries, parliaments, regulators, development banks and companies can use, and check. The tools are open, the method is published, and every claim leads back to its source.
Who it serves
The same records, sources and dates serve very different decisions. These are the uses the platform is built for.
Know what each counterpart has actually enacted before the session opens. Compare jurisdictions side by side, trace each instrument’s legal journey and brief a delegation from records that cite their sources.
See how other legislatures wrote framework laws, carbon taxes and trading systems, what each one covers, and how long each took to move from bill to binding obligation.
Set a national instrument against its peers: design, coverage, legal stage and timeline. Preparing a Biennial Transparency Report? Every record carries an indicative planned, adopted or implemented status.
Follow where carbon-pricing and disclosure rules already bind and what each record says is coming next, jurisdiction by jurisdiction. A starting point for compliance and strategy teams, not a substitute for legal advice.
Read the legal readiness of a country’s climate framework before programming support, and follow how it moves over the life of a project.
Download the records under an open licence, query the API, embed the live map, and teach with the free Academy modules and glossary.
Responsible AI
Artificial intelligence makes verified knowledge faster to reach. It does not replace verification. These are the rules Ask the Radar and our research workflow follow.
Ask the Radar answers only from the Radar’s own records. It does not search the open web, and it does not invent instruments, dates or figures.
Each answer lists the records it relied on. Each record links the document it was checked against and the date of that check.
A person checks every record against a primary or official source before it is published. AI helps search and draft; it never decides a legal stage.
When the records do not cover a question, the answer says so and shows what is covered, rather than filling the gap.
Questions are not stored with any identifier. A salted one-way code of the visitor’s network address is kept for ten minutes, only to prevent abuse.
The classification, the sources and the corrections policy are published, every change to a record is logged, and anyone can download the data and check it.
Ask the Radar
01 · Ask
“Which G20 economies have an emissions trading system in force?” No query language and no account.
02 · Retrieve
The question is matched against the verified records only: instrument, jurisdiction, stage, legal reference and source.
03 · Answer
A language model writes a few sentences from those records alone, and lists the ones it used.
04 · Check
Every record links the official document behind it, so the answer can be verified before it is relied on.
Working together
Public outputs are free for everyone, including every government.
The Radar, the Data Hub, the Academy and the glossary are free, with no account. The records are open data under CC BY 4.0.
A short written briefing on the instruments that apply to one jurisdiction, the dates that matter and the open questions, cited line by line to public sources.
The CCPA and CGDA curriculum and drafting clinics, for delegations, ministries and analysts. Register interest for the next cohort.
Support new jurisdictions, translations and open datasets. Partnership confers no influence over findings, and no partner pays for coverage of its own jurisdiction or instruments.
