The IEADB website is constantly revised and updated. Current count of include MEAs, BEAs, etc. can be found here. The dataset also includes over 100,000 state "membership actions" (dates of signature, ratification, or entry into force; release notes here). A major thanks to Jorg Balsiger and Lorris Germann of the University of Geneva who identified over 650 BEAs and have provided the foundation for the IEADB to become a comprehensive list of both bilateral and multilateral environmental agreements (for a list of BEAs by decade check here).
