Climate Action Dashboard

The OECD Climate Action Dashboard is an online platform developed by the OECD to track and compare countries’ progress on climate action. It presents a structured set of indicators covering greenhouse gas emissions, climate impacts and risks, policy responses, and socio-economic opportunities. The dashboard provides interactive visualisations and country-level data, allowing users to explore trends and assess progress towards climate targets such as net-zero commitments. It is designed to support policy analysis, benchmarking, and international comparison, rather than local decision-making.

Open tool

What you can do with it

Input

  • Select a country or set of countries and explore climate-action indicators
  • Compare greenhouse gas emissions, climate impacts and risks, policy responses and socio-economic opportunities
  • Access underlying full datasets, including subnational (NUTS2/NUTS3) data, via the linked OECD Data Explorer

Output

  • Maps and graphs of national climate-action indicators
  • Datasets and indicators, updated once a year between April and August
  • Reports, decision-support material and narratives, drawn from the dashboard's graphs

Use it to

  • Track and compare countries' progress on climate targets, including net-zero commitments
  • Benchmark climate policy and socio-economic opportunities internationally
  • Access more granular subnational data through the OECD Data Explorer when needed

Why is it relevant to climate adaptation

A high-level, internationally comparable benchmarking tool rather than a local planning instrument — good for a first "taste," though the tool owner notes granular analysis requires the underlying reports or the OECD Data Explorer, which does publish subnational data even though the dashboard itself only shows national figures. Some indicators already draw on observational/reanalysis data (e.g. ERA5-Land), and forward-looking, climate-model-based hazard-exposure indicators are in development. No nature-based-solution, cost-benefit or just-resilience functionality.

Used in

  • International climate-policy benchmarking and comparison by the OECD, updated annually
  • Agriculture, business and industry, energy, financial, forestry and transport sectors, at global and national level, with subnational detail via the OECD Data Explorer
