FORWARD-LOOKING RESEARCH

Thought Leadership for GHG Professionals

The Greenhouse Gas Management Institute’s (GHGMI) Research Program conducts forward-looking, independent research into challenging questions in the policy and practice of greenhouse gas (GHG) management, pairing the unique technical expertise of its staff and faculty with an extensive alumni and practitioner network.

A TRUSTED RESOURCE

Challenging Status Quo Thinking

GHGMI’s Research Program was founded to address the paucity of thought leadership and is committed to investigating, confronting, and pushing neglected yet fundamental research questions from the dark corners of academia to the forefront of mainstream professional practice. GHGMI has earned a global reputation for producing credible, forward-thinking research on GHG management. As a pioneer in the field, we have long been the go-to source for objective analysis, critical insights, and innovative approaches that shape both policy and practice.

Our research doesn’t just inform the field—it moves it forward and sometimes transforms it!

Commissioned Research

Organizations, governments, and foundations support us in conducting targeted research that addresses complex questions in GHG measurement, accounting, verification, and policy. Whether you’re developing new climate reporting frameworks, investigating best practices, or evaluating program effectiveness, our team delivers rigorous, evidence-based insights grounded in real-world expertise.

Independent Inquiry with Real-World Impact

Our research team blends academic rigor with practical experience. We are uniquely positioned to explore technical and policy issues that others overlook—bringing clarity to complexity and relevance to theory.

HOW WE THINK
