Small But Mighty: Climate Interactive Ranked 12th Best Climate Think Tank in the World

By Ellie Johnston
July 9, 2014

CI_logo_tag_whitebkgdClimate Interactive placed 12th among 210 climate change economics and policy think tanks around the world, and 4th best in the United States, according to the International Center for Climate Governance.

As a staff of only nine, we share this accolade with our partners, from funders to project collaborators. So many good, dedicated people have contributed to our successes. (If you are wondering if this means you, it probably does.)

We are honored to be listed among so many powerful and insightful organizations; the work of many of them has been important in shaping our own understanding, analysis and outreach here at Climate Interactive.

Learn more about the methodology for these rankings here. This particular ranking is standardized for “per capita” or “per researcher” productivity.
