Raw Dataset for UNFCCC SBSTA Ocean Dialogue Submission Analysis

<p>This raw dataset accompanies the manuscript titled &quot;A New Way Forward for Ocean Climate Policy as Reflected in the UNFCCC Ocean and Climate Change Dialogue Submissions&quot;, submitted by co-authors to the journal Climate Policy.&nbsp;</p> <p>In order to evaluate the Ocean Dialogue submissions, we identified key themes reflected in the text and defined subtopics within each theme.&nbsp;Each of the 47 submissions was independently reviewed by two of the co-authors (typically one natural scientist and one with expertise in law or policy).&nbsp;Reviewers recorded the number of times each theme was mentioned within a submission. Totals for each submission were averaged across the two reviewers, to decrease biases from individual-level differences in annotation.&nbsp;The averaged counts are presented in two tables. Table OD 1 for Party submissions and Table OD2 for non Party submissions.&nbsp;The Non-Party acronyms are explained in Figure 1 of the manuscript text. In Table OD1, Party submissions are indicated as coming from Annex 1 Parties (i.e. More highly developed economies), Non-Annex 1 Parties, or representing Group Submissions (see UNFCCC website for further description of differentiation between Annex 1 and non-Annex 1 Parties: https://unfccc.int/parties-observers).&nbsp;The last table (OD Submission Length)&nbsp;shows the total page count for each of the 47 Ocean Dialogue submissions analyzed, ordered from shortest to longest.&nbsp;</p>
