The Bennett Institute is uniquely positioned to accelerate policy and practical solutions at unprecedented speed. Our work will set a new pace for policy change that is based on scientific evidence. We collaborate with governments and institutions around the world to develop impactful work that effectively addresses the climate challenge.
Hosted within the Science Policy Research Unit (SPRU) at the University of Sussex Business School, and with strong links to the University’s Institute for Development Studies (IDS), the Bennett Institute is rapidly able to call upon a wide range of diverse expertise.
So what makes us different? Real-world impact. Our Chairs are already deeply embedded into the policy process, working as an integral part of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) for example. We collaborate directly with the end-users of our research, such as the World Bank and the IMF, who come to us to develop research-based solutions on their behalf. And thanks to SPRU and the University of Sussex Business School, we have a global reach and network, with our Chairs holding simultaneous appointments in multiple counties.
