Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment, London School of Economics and Political Science

About the Grantham Research Institute
The Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment is a research centre at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).
The Institute was established in May 2008 with the support of philanthropists Jeremy and Hannelore Grantham, through their Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment.

Vision, purpose and principles
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.
The Institute's principles are:
 Independence: We carry out research and other work without interference from our sponsors and supporters.
 Rigour: We base our research findings and views on robust evidence and reasoning, and not on ideology.
 Internationalism: We are located in the UK, but we aim to advance understanding and inform decision-making across the world.
 Leadership: We seek to guide thinking, discussion and decision-making in the UK and beyond on effective solutions to global environmental challenges.
 Collaboration: We are committed to working effectively together and with our partners in the UK and across the world.
 Engagement: We work constructively with decision-makers among the public, businesses and policy-makers.
