George Asiamah is one of many Grantham Scholars who write for us

Our PhD students – the Grantham Scholars – are an exceptional lot.

They work across disciplines and throughout the world. They are dedicated to the environment and act as expert activists. Together with the Grantham Centre team, they are working hard to create a sustainable future.

Our blog, interviews and comments page is your chance to hear directly from our Scholars. Here you can read their thoughts about the environment, their work, and advances in sustainability.

If you want to find out more about their work, check out our Grantham Scholar project pages.
