Climatico is an independent network of researchers and climate change experts that analyse and report on the latest developments in climate change policy around the world. Climatico originally focused its analysis on the Group of Twenty (G-20) countries (Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the European Union) but is now expanding its ambit to incorporate policy analysis in additional regional blocs such as Africa, Latin America, Southern and Eastern Europe and the Middle East. The group assesses government policies addressing mitigation and adaptation to climate change, including the underlying rationale and drivers of action and non-action.In addition, Climatico focuses on the most important international issues under discussion at high-level climate policy forums and venues (G8, UNFCCC, G-20, etc.). The International Team analyses the success and wider role of these multilateral negotiating forums on climate change and often takes a more thematic approach by monitoring policy trends and developments regarding Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF), adaptation, CDM, emissions targets and sustainable energy.
