There has been a rise in climate litigation, holding organisations responsible for their role in climate change. This has had a particular impact on the oil and gas sector, as seen in the outcome of the judicial review of the consent granted for the Rosebank and Jackdaw oil and gas fields.  

In an era of uncertainty for the oil and gas sector, this webinar will offer practical guidance on how to advise your clients and the best practice for complying with sustainability requirements. 

Learning outcomes:

  • Familiarise yourself with the latest case law updates concerning the oil and gas sector, and the practical implications these may have on your clients.
  • Discuss the best practice for compliance with sustainability requirements.
  • Gain a greater understanding of how organisations can be held liable for their role in the climate crisis, and how to protect your client from the risk of climate litigation.
