Working with government

We deliver research and advice to assist policymakers, regulators and international organisations in making decisions based on the latest scientific understanding.

Our work is helping to inform climate change adaptation and mitigation policy at both the national and international level.

 

Future climate - variability and change

We provide a source of independent and scientifically sound advice on climate and how it is likely to change over the coming seasons and decades.

Case study: Working with the Queensland Government >>

Climate change - impacts and adaptation

Within the Walker Institute we bring together climate scientists with impact experts from a range of sectors: water, agriculture, biodiversity and the built environment. Our research is helping governments and regulatory bodies develop policies to adapt to the impacts of climate change.

Case study: Impacts of climate change >>

Case study: Climate change and food security>>

Case study: European biodiversity>>

Implications of emission reduction policies

We can provide guidance on the implications of climate policies, based on the latest scientific knowledge.

We are involved in a major programme to provide advice to the UK government on how to avoid dangerous climate change. The programme is led by the Met Office in a consortium with the Walker Institute, the Tyndall Centre and the Grantham Institute at Imperial College.
