Project papers, reports, studies, research notes and discussion papers can be found at the 'Documents' page of this website. They include documents from the International Alliance of Research Universities’ March, 2009 conference in Copenhagen, Climate Change: Global Risks, Challenges and Decisions; a seminar presentation made at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at the London School of Economics and Political Science; and other seminar and conference presentations.

project team members have either written, or contributed.
