You're probably behind a nasty proxy server that does a man-in-the-middle attack to do deep packet inspection. You need to obtain the CA certificate file from your proxy admin in order to tell Python that everything is OK. You could also extract this from your web browser or anything else that is configured to work with the proxy.

When you have obtained the certificate, you can either add it to the cacert.pem file of the certifi package, or tell pip about it directly with the --cert option, or global.cert in the pip.conf file.
