The Grantham Research Institute is pleased to announce the appointment of Professor Elizabeth Robinson as its new Director from 1 September 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Robinson is currently Professor of Environmental Economics

Announcing the appointment, Professor Lord Nicholas Stern<\/strong>, Chair of the Grantham Research Institute, said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are very pleased that Elizabeth will be joining the Institute as Director. She will clearly bring an international perspective informed by her many experiences of working overseas, and a deep understanding of the significant links between economic development and climate change. Elizabeth has an impressive list of high-impact academic publications to her name on many aspects of environmental economics, as well as important policy contributions on public health and climate change through her role as a member of the Lancet Countdown Board. This is a crucial decade for the climate and the world economy. The Institute and the LSE must make a strong contribution to the understanding of the challenges and to policy action. I look forward very much to Elizabeth’s leadership and to working with her when she arrives in September.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Robinson said:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I am absolutely delighted to be joining the Grantham Research Institute in September. It is exciting to become director of the Institute at a time when there is such an intense focus in the UK and around the world on climate change and the environment. I look forward to working with my new colleagues.”<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
