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