Climate change research group

Climate change disproportionately affects the poorest people in the world. We work with policy and research partners to redress the balance by helping the poor in low and middle-income countries achieve climate resilience and development. We strive for fair deals for people exposed to increasingly severe and unpredictable climate that can destroy livelihoods and exacerbate poverty.

In particular, we identify, generate, share and employ new knowledge that can be used to shape development polices, practices and programmes to address climate change.

Key programmes of the group's work can be found below underneath the staff listing, while all projects can be found within climate change and drylands and pastoralism.
