Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment

We have extended last year’s Climate Election project, with a limited test run on the May local elections. Our aim is to highlight candidates’ views on climate change and net zero, ensuring information is available to help voters make an informed choice.

Our focus is on a selection of council seats in Cornwall, Durham, Hertfordshire and Shropshire, as well as the Hull and East Yorkshire and Greater Lincolnshire Mayoral elections.

We need help to contact candidates and share this information as we approach the May council elections.

Find out how you can help us on our website.

Believe it or not the Institute is marking its 15th anniversary although not all of us have been around for the duration! To mark the occasion we’ve produced a short video featuring our Chair Lord Stern and our Director Elizabeth Robinson.

The video outlines three major global challenges we currently face: the climate crisis, biodiversity loss and environmental degradation. This is followed by an introduction to the work of the Grantham Research Institute during which the two presenters outline some of the pioneering ways in which we're seeking to confront these challenges.
