Iceland's climate action plan (co2.is) — 106 numbered actions with status, ministry, start/end years.
# CO2 — Aðgerðaáætlun í loftslagsmálum **Requires:** Tier 0 (core). Iceland's climate action plan tracker, covering every numbered action through 2035. Published at `co2.is` by **Umhverfis-, orku- og loftslagsráðuneytið**. Each action has a title, goal, start/end years, status, and responsible ministry. The tracker is the primary public accountability mechanism for Iceland's nationally determined contribution (NDC) under the Paris Agreement. ## Taxonomy Four-level hierarchy; actions are coded `<Kerfi>.<Málaflokkur>.<Viðfangsefni>.<Index>`. | Level | Example | Meaning | |-------|---------|---------| | Kerfi (system) | `S` | One of four accounting systems | | Málaflokkur | `S.5` | Sub-sector | | Viðfangsefni (focus area) | `S.5.C` | Specific target | | Aðgerð (action) | `S.5.C.1` | Individual measure (catalog row) | ### Kerfi | Code | Kerfi | Meaning | Actions (2026-04) | |------|-------|---------|:----:| | `S` | Samfélagslosun | Community emissions (covered by Iceland's EU effort-sharing commitment) | 61 | | `V` | Viðskiptakerfi | ETS — EU emissions-trading system sectors (stationary industry, aviation, maritime) | 9 | | `L` | Landnotkun | Land use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) | 12 | | `Þ` | Þverlægar aðgerðir | Cross-cutting actions (financial incentives, social) | 24 | | **Total** | | | **106** | ## Architecture Webflow-hosted SPA-ish site (static HTML output from Webflow CMS) at `co2.is`. The action catalog lives on `/allar-adgerdir`, which references 32 **viðfangsefni** pages (`/adgerdir/<slug>`). Each viðfangsefni page contains 1–11 individual action accordion blocks. The scraper discovers all 32 slugs from `/allar-adgerdir` then crawls each. No API, no JSON endpoint — all data is rendered server-side into the HTML. Regex parsing of the Webflow accordion blocks is the reliable path. ### Accordion block structure Each action block has: ```html <div id="s5c1" class="adgerd-accordion"> ... <h3 class="title-6">Full orkuskipti ríkisflota og samgönguþjónustu fyrir 2030</h3> <p class="text-small">Ríkið sé fyrirmynd í innkaupum hreinorkuökutækja ...</p> <div class="label-big strong">Markmið aðgerðar</div> <div class="text-small">Full orkuskipti ríkisflota ...</div> <div class="label-big strong">Upphaf /&nbsp;Endir</div> <div class="adgerd-meta-dates"> <div class="text-small">2023</div><div>–</div><div class="text-small">2030</div> </div> <div class="label-big strong">Staða aðgerðar</div> <div status-color="Í framkvæmd" class="status-color"></div> <div class="label-big strong">Ábyrgðaraðili</div> <div class="text-small">Fjármála- og efnahagsráðuneyti</div> </div> ``` The status-color attribute on the status marker is the authoritative status string (avoids ambiguity when the label is truncated for layout). ## Status vocabulary | Status | Meaning | Color on the site | |--------|---------|-------------------| | `Lokið` | Completed | Green | | `Í framkvæmd` | In progress | Yellow | | `Samþykkt` | Approved (not yet started) | Dark grey | | `Fyrirhugað` | Planned | Light grey | | `Á hugmyndastigi` | Conceptual | Very light grey | ## Usage ```bash # Crawl all 32 viðfangsefni pages, write data/processed/co2_actions.csv uv run python scripts/co2.py fetch # List the catalog, optionally filtered uv run python scripts/co2.py list uv run python scripts/co2.py list --kerfi S uv run python scripts/co2.py list --status "Í framkvæmd" uv run python scripts/co2.py list --ministry Fjármála ``` ## Catalog schema `data/processed/co2_actions.csv`: | Column | Description | |--------|-------------| | `code` | Canonical action code (e.g. `S.5.C.1`) | | `id` | Lowercase id from the HTML anchor (e.g. `s5c1`) | | `kerfi` | `S`, `V`, `L`, or `Þ` | | `malaflokkur_nr` | Second-level digit (1–7) | | `vidfangsefni_letter` | Third-level letter (A–D) | | `action_idx` | Action number within its viðfangsefni | | `vidfangsefni_slug` | URL slug of the parent viðfangsefni | | `title` | Short title | | `description` | First-paragraph summary | | `markmid` | Goal (Markmið aðgerðar) | | `upphaf` | Start year (integer) | | `endir` | End year (integer, blank if open-ended) | | `stada` | Status enum (`Lokið`, `Í framkvæmd`, `Samþykkt`, `Fyrirhugað`, `Á hugmyndastigi`) | | `abyrgdaradili` | Responsible ministry / ministries (pipe-separated) | | `vidfangsefni_url` | Source URL | ## Snapshot (2026-04-22 pull) - **106 actions** across 4 kerfi × ~30 viðfangsefni - Status: 70 Í framkvæmd · 28 Fyrirhugað · 8 Samþykkt (no Lokið or Á hugmyndastigi yet) - 75 actions have a fixed end year; 31 are open-ended (mostly ongoing regulatory measures) - 10 ministries participate; most frequent are Umhverfis-, orku- og loftslagsráðuneytið and the sector ministries (Matvæla, Innviða, Fjármála) ## Caveats 1. **Count vs. hero.** The site's hero text aggregates to 110 measures (58 + 14 + 30 + 8). The scraper finds 106; the 4-item gap may reflect rounding in the hero or a handful of measures that only appear under the `/adlogun/` (adaptation plan) tree, which this skill does not yet scrape. 2. **Open-ended dates.** Many regulatory actions have a start year but no end year (they're "permanent"). `endir` is blank for those — don't default-fill with `upphaf`. 3. **Icelandic special char in system code.** Þ (þ/Thorn) is not ASCII; the URL slug prefix is `th2b-…`. The scraper maps `th` → `Þ` for the `kerfi` column so catalogs are human-readable; `id` keeps the ASCII prefix. 4. **Non-breaking space in the "Upphaf / Endir" label.** Webflow renders it as `Upphaf /&nbsp;Endir` (U+00A0 between `/` and `Endir`). The scraper normalises whitespace before matching. 5. **Webflow class rotation.** The site uses hand-authored class names (`adgerd-accordion`, `label-big strong`, `adgerd-meta-dates`) that appear stable, but CSS refactors could break the scraper. Re-save one viðfangsefni HTML and diff against the cached `data/raw/co2/*.html` to verify before blaming the regex. 6. **No CO₂-ígildi target per action.** The site shows aggregate CO₂ targets at the viðfangsefni and málaflokkur level but does not publish a per-action emissions-reduction figure. The scraper does not attempt to attribute aggregate targets to individual actions. 7. **Aðlögunaráætlun (adaptation plan) not included.** The site has a separate toggle for adaptation actions at `/adlogun`. Those are a distinct catalog (fewer actions, different vocabulary) and are out of scope for this skill. 8. **Encoding.** Webflow serves the page as UTF-8. Action titles, ministry names, and the kerfi letter Þ (Þvert á kerfi) all need UTF-8 handling. Watch the non-breaking space (U+00A0) in some Webflow labels — the parser normalises these to regular spaces. ## Attribution "Byggir á upplýsingum frá Umhverfis-, orku- og loftslagsráðuneytinu (co2.is)." ## Related - [loftgaedi](../loftgaedi/SKILL.md) — real-time air-quality monitoring data - [rikisreikningur](../rikisreikningur/SKILL.md) — state accounts (some CO₂ actions have funded line items visible there) - [heimsmarkmid](../heimsmarkmid/SKILL.md) — SDG 13 (Climate action) reporting
