Lawyers for Climate Action Webinar: Being a climate-conscious lawyer in the midst of political turbulence

It's a turbulent time at the moment for anyone who cares about climate action. With ESG rollbacks overseas and at home, it can feel dispiriting. But there's still need for momentum and change within the legal profession. Climate change will only increasingly affect almost all areas of legal practice, and lawyers can continue to play a critical role in the transition to net zero. Bringing together international experts on the role of lawyers in the transition, we explore what's happening internationally in the ESG and climate law space, what international lawyers and legal organisations are doing, and how NZ lawyers can play their part. 

We're thrilled to be joined by two international experts on climate-conscious lawyering:

• Lara Douvartzidis from the Net Zero Lawyers Alliance
• Emily Morison from the International Bar Association

They will be sharing resources and insights on how lawyers and law associations are responding to the recent changes in climate headwinds, and why climate competency in lawyering is more important than ever. 

Join us at 9am on Friday 2 May on Zoom for this webinar. 

We can provide a certificate confirming attendance for 1 hour/1 CPD point.
