This folder contains the policy database belonging to the publication "Building a Database for Energy Sufficiency Policies" (https://doi.org/10.12688/f1000research.108822.2). Version 1.0 of the database is replacing our initial version 0.1 from January 2022 of the sufficiency policy database. We made the following changes and revisions: We revised the structure (wording) of the columns policy strategy / measure-action and policy instrument to have a more logical cascade per sector We merged the sectors "agri-food" and "LULUCF" to "Land-use & food" and distributed the policies of the (very small) “energy” sector to the sectors they belong to We inserted new policies and literature sources We revised the wording of some policies and descriptions for better understandability We corrected instrument types and source pages / URLs We deleted a policy which was included twice and deleted 30 policies in the building sector because they contained too little sufficiency We specified the name as "Energy Sufficiency Policy Database" Acknowledgements: The database is funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) as part of the project “EnSu - Energy Sufficiency in Energy Transition and Society” (https://energysufficiency.de/) within the framework of the Strategy „Research for Sustainability" (FONA) (http://www.fona.de/en) as part of its Social-Ecological Research funding priority, funding nos. [01UU2004A, 01UU2004B, 01UU2004C]. Responsibility for the content of this publication lies with the authors.
