Courts, contracts, and commercial law: A new frontier for climate action?
The Chancery Law Project is bringing together all sections of the legal profession to try and drill climate action into contracts, regulation and national laws As awareness of climate change and its impacts grows, a question frequently asked by many is: what can I do to help? The answer, even if it sounds like a cop out, is at its root a simple one: each of us must do what we can and should probably focus on what we are good at. For some that means developing the game-changing clean technologies of the future, or educating the citizens of tomorrow to provide them with the skills to both help build and thrive in a net zero economy. Others may have unique oratory talents to lecture world leaders on the case for urgent climate action, and occasionally someone might have an incredible capacity for presenting inspiring BBC nature documentaries. Meanwhile, many existing professions will have to adjust, adapt, and skill-up for the net zero transition. This is particularly true for the legal profession - in the battle against climate change there is a lot of plain old admin and legal oversight to do.
