A recent research report  by the Grantham Research Institute at the LSE assesses the role of the independent Committee on Climate Change (CCC) in shaping UK climate policy. The report’s supportive conclusions enable lessons to be drawn for both domestic and international climate policymakers.

As nations grapple with the obligations of implementing the Paris Agreement, this research illuminates the benefits of the CCC’s expert and authoritative recommendations. Also, with UK financial regulators paying greater attention to climate issues, the report can be seen as a useful briefing for actuaries on the UK’s climate law and policy infrastructure.
