  The data consistes of three colums as described below and the rows contain all the forest clearance requests and decisions between 2001 and 2017: First column The ID of the forest clearance request, which is also contained in the related dataset available from FOEN Second column The sustainable economy content class of a forest clearance request: G = green economy, C = circular economy, GB = green and bioeconomy, GC = green and circular economy, GCB = green and circular bioeconomy. If a cell is empty, the content was not codable as "sustainable economy" related. Third column The type of infrastructure project: if based on the description of the forest clearnce request it was necessary to change the field "type of infrastructure", so the clearance could be attributed to the correct class, this is indicated in this third column.
