The Grantham Research Institute produces a range of policy publications to inform UK and international decision-making on issues related to climate policy and the environment. These range from short briefings which provide analysis on topical issues and outline specific recommendations to more in-depth insights into major policy areas, as well as keynote speeches by Institute staff. The Institute also responds to formal consultations, domestic and international, on issues related to climate policy and the environment. Institute staff regularly contribute to policy reports published by other research centres and international institutions too, which you will also find listed here. Our policy publications are reviewed by internal and external referees before publication.
