Renewed commitment to support our efforts to build a more sustainable world
The world is warming, sea levels are on the rise and extreme weather events are turning more frequent and intense. The negative impacts of human-driven climate change will become increasingly dangerous without urgent and decisive action.
LSE’s Grantham Research Institute for Climate Change and the Environment is making critical contributions to deepen our understanding of global environmental challenges, and shape the legislative and economic responses we need to build a more sustainable future.
A major grant from the Grantham Foundation for the Protection of the Environment will enable the Institute to continue with its crucial and innovative work through to 2035. The grant will support our efforts to advance our knowledge of climate change and the environment, promote better informed decision-making and educate new generations of researchers to help shape a fairer, more sustainable world.
We are immensely grateful for this further transformational commitment from the Grantham Foundation, which continues their long-standing support for the Grantham Research Institute at LSE through to 2035. This is a truly wonderful and inspiring renewal of our partnership which will enable us to provide critical research, analysis, insights and engagement on the most urgent climate challenges we face.
There has never been a greater need for robust policy-relevant and evidence-based research and analysis on climate change and the environment. This grant will ensure that the Institute continues to be recognised as a leader in the field, enabling us to extend our influence across the world, and to contribute to better-informed decision making that will accelerate a rapid transition to sustainable and inclusive societies.
The Grantham Research Institute at LSE remains an essential platform for the research needed for climate policy ambition. As continued global emissions growth drives us ever closer toward dangerous tipping points in the global climate system, the imperative to raise climate policy ambition has only increased since the Institute’s founding in 2008.
