This research topic recognises that working with and understanding climate models remains central to the design of a rational response strategy to climate change.<\/p>\n

The Institute will continue to collaborate closely with climate scientists by studying the value and use of climate information and add a decision\/policy angle to scientific research.<\/p>\n

The research will explore:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The value of climate models for informing decision-making and policy (both adaptation and mitigation);<\/li>\n
  2. The priorities for future climate research, and;<\/li>\n
  3. Approaches to quantify and deal with uncertainty.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Formally, work on climate science and modelling will be led by the LSE Centre for the Analysis of Time Series (CATS)<\/a>.<\/p>\n
