Climate Strategies was formed in Cambridge in 2006, to provide governments with world-class, independent policy and economic research for solving the collective action problem of climate change. Since then Climate Strategies has grown so that we now draw from a genuinely global academic network.

Given the increasingly contentious nature of the climate change debate, we believe that our public policy mission is even more crucial in 2011. We invite you to use the website as a free tool for accessing reports from our network of expert researchers and to find out more about Climate Strategies.

As an unrivalled international network, it is our hope that you can support Climate Strategies in ensuring that policy-makers and other stakeholders have access to the most accurate and relevant research reports for delivering climate and energy policy.

Our recently published reports focus on:

• ‘Competitiveness and Leakage’ issues;
• ‘Sectoral Approaches’ in the steel sector in China, India and Japan;
• ‘Climate Innovation Centres’ on the concept of a network of climate technology innovation and diffusion centres and analyse tangible implementation issues;
• ‘Carbon pricing for low-carbon investment’;
• A paper series on ‘Analytic Support for Target-Based Negotiations’ for interpreting and comparing post-Copenhagen mitigation targets and mechanisms;
• A landmark study examining the case for the EU to set more ambitious 2020 emissions reductions targets.
