The Centre for Climate Change Economics and Policy (CCCEP) is a

London School of Economics and Political Science
(LSE).

CCCEP is part of the

Chief Economist of the World Bank and author of the widely known Stern Review.[1]

CCCEP was established in 2008: its mission is to advance public and private action on climate change through rigorous, innovative research. In pursuit of its mission, CCCEP has seven research themes in its phase 3 programme:[2]

  1. Climate information for adaptation
  2. Competitiveness in the low-carbon economy
  3. Incentives for behaviour change
  4. Integrating climate and development policies for ‘climate compatible development’
  5. Low-carbon industrial strategies in challenging contexts
  6. Low-carbon, climate-resilient cities
  7. Sustainable infrastructure finance

According to a report published by the centre in 2018 on the

economic impacts of climate change will be much larger if cuts in greenhouse gas emissions are delayed.[3]

CCCEP is co-host of the Place-based Climate Action Network (P-CAN), which is funded by the

ESRC.[4]
