The Climate Compatible Growth (CCG) programme is dedicated to fostering sustainable development in alignment with climate goals. Our mission is to support low and middle-income countries in developing economies that are resilient to climate change and compatible with global carbon emission reduction targets. The programme integrates interdisciplinary research, policy analysis, and stakeholder engagement to devise strategies that address the complexities of sustainable development.
The programme brings together some of the UK’s leading research organisations and partners them with local researchers, governments, Multinational Development Banks (MDBs), and International Organizations (IOs) to identify appropriate low-carbon development pathways. This includes assessing the most fit-for-purpose policy, regulatory, market models, and risk mitigation options to implement them. The programme and its partners will develop a range of open-source tools, models, and datasets that will be global public goods available to all countries.
The CCG Programme has been extended to March 2030 so there is an expectation that the post will be extended to March 2026 but it should be noted that this is subject to confirmation of funding.
