A “plan” is a strategic document that outlines goals, policies, and initiatives for the development and organisation of a policy at a distinct jurisdiction level.

A law is part as a comprehensive system of principles and regulations established by a governing authority.

Recommendations provide essential information backed up with research to incentivise cities, regions, and states to set up measures to achieve certain policy goals.

Subsidies/incentives are financial or material benefits provided by governments or organisations to support or encourage certain activities, industries, or behaviours.

A decree is a specific order or decision issued by a person or governing body with legal authority. Compared to a law, it has a narrower scope and applicability.
