The Climate Change Research Group (CCRG) is a cross-disciplinary research group under the aegis of the Royal Geographical Society with Institute of British Geographers (RGS-IBG).

The CCRG organizes discussion events on burning issues of climate change, sponsors sessions and panels at the Annual Conference of the Royal Geographical Society, presents undergraduate dissertation awards and organizes competitions for creative climate communication, among other events.
