Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment

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.
