About us
Annual Report
Our latest annual report covers the period 2020-2021, looking back at how how our work fed into the global priorities in areas of climate science around the 1.5°C limit in the Paris Agreement, global decarbonisation, international climate negotiations and implementing climate action in vulnerable countries – small island developing states and least developed countries.
About us
We are a global climate science and policy institute established in 2008 to bring cutting edge analysis to bear on the most pressing issue of our time – climate change.
As the urgency of this problem has grown, so have we. Our team of over 130 counts 32 different nationalities working at our offices in Togo, USA, Australia, Trinidad and Tobago, Nepal and Germany, as well in a diverse set of countries including the Bahamas, Bhutan, Burkina Faso, Samoa and the UK.
We are motivated by the desire to empower those most vulnerable – Small Island Developing States and Least Developed Countries – to use the best science and analysis available in the international climate negotiations, as well as developing policies and institutional capacity to adapt to climate change.
We undertake extensive research on the 1.5°C temperature limit in the Paris Agreement, and the risks and vulnerabilities these countries face. We also evaluate progress on climate action and show governments how they can act on their policies to keep global warming to this limit.
Our vision
We want a climate-safe, sustainable and just future for all.
Our mission
We deliver cutting-edge science, analysis and support to accelerate climate action to limit warming below 1.5°C. Our work empowers countries, communities and peoples on the frontlines of the climate crisis.
