The Grantham Institute is Imperial's hub for climate change and the environment. Established in 2007 , we carry out world-class research, convert innovations into applications, train future leaders and communicate academic knowledge to decision-makers. Our mission is to drive forwards effective UK and international action on climate change and the environment, in pursuit of a sustainable, resilient, zero-carbon society.
Our work is centred around four pillars: Research, Education, Innovation and Policy. Find out more about what we do, and how we're making an impact, below.
Inside Story: Putting science at the heart of policy
In 2019, the UK became the first major economy in the world to legally commit to net zero emissions by 2050. This film, featuring our Director of Research Professor Joeri Rogelj, Emeritus Professor Joanna Haigh and former Prime Minister Theresa May, reveals how the UK led the world in setting its climate target, and why science must remain at the heart of policymaking.
Inside Story: Putting science at the heart of policy
Through exclusive interviews, this film uncovers the human stories, the scientific breakthroughs, and the political courage that shaped a historic agreement to establish a 'Loss and Damage Fund', the result of more than 30 years of relentless advocacy and a milestone in the fight for climate justice.
Find out more about how we engage with the policy community to ensure the best available evidence on climate science and solutions can inform decisions on climate action.
