Tyndall Centre

The Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research is a partnership of universities, based in the United Kingdom, which brings together scientists, economists, engineers and social scientists to "undertake robust and independent research to identify the challenges and opportunities presented by climate change and inform open and transparent decisions that best serve society".

The centre, named after the 19th-century Irish physicist John Tyndall and founded in 2000, has core partners of the University of East Anglia, University of Manchester, Newcastle University and the University of Southampton. Fudan University joined the Tyndall Centre partnership in 2011.

The Tyndall Centre is headquartered, with the Climatic Research Unit, in the Hubert Lamb building at the University of East Anglia. Its director is Professor Andy Jordan, based at the University of East Anglia, and appointed in 2025. Former directors of the Tyndall Centre include Robert Nicholls, Professor Corinne Le Quéré FRS CBE, Professor Sir Robert Watson, Professor Kevin Anderson, Professor Andrew Watkinson and Professor John Schellnhuber. The founding director is Professor Mike Hulme. Asher Minns is executive director.

The year 2025 marks 25 years of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research. To celebrate this occasion, and look ahead to the urgent climate action needed, the Tyndall Centre will hold a conference in September 2025 called the Critical Decade for Climate Action Conference.
