Policy briefs are aimed at a broad readership of decision-makers in the public, private and third sectors, in the UK and overseas, based on research carried out by members of the Institute.
These documents may involve collaborations with other individuals or organisations (such as the Centre for Climate Change Economics and Policy [CCCEP]| or the Grantham Institute for Climate Change|).
Each brief is reviewed by at least two internal referees from the Institute before being professionally typeset and published.
