6 hours verifiable CPD
On the eve of the UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties 2021 (COP26) in Glasgow lawyers met together from across the globe to discuss the role of the lawyer on environmental impact.
Lawyers act as the trusted advisor to clients who are making decisions that have an impact on the environment, from investments to risk management. This conference explored the extent of that influence on the decisions of their clients and asked:
- Are you under a moral duty to influence those decision for the benefit of global environmental security?
- How does that sit with the duty to your client?
- What tactics can a lawyer deploy to influence positive climate change?
This event looked at the impact a trusted advisor can have on climate change across areas of law and industry. Our keynote speakers set the challenge and tone of the day while thought leaders have used workshops throughout the day to debate and discussed a range of legal specialisms in more detail.
All sessions are available online.
