The Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment was established by the London School of Economics and Political Science in 2008 to create a world-leading centre for policy-relevant research and training on climate change and the environment, bringing together international expertise on economics, finance, geography, the environment, international development and political economy.
The Institute’s vision is a world in which climate change and other global environmental challenges are managed effectively to promote prosperity and well-being.
The purpose of the Institute is:
- to increase knowledge and understanding by performing world-class research on climate change and the environment;
- to promote better informed decision-making about climate change and the environment by engaging with a wide range of key audiences around the world; and
- to educate and train new generations of researchers through our undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
