Decarbonisation

Climate change poses a significant challenge to our planet, our personal lives and our businesses.

International bodies and governments across the globe are setting net zero emissions goals, putting the onus on all of us - corporates and individuals - to make significant changes.

Decarbonisation is the route to meeting these goals.

As with all profound changes there are legal risks and commercial opportunities to be understood and seized.

We can help you engage with new regulatory frameworks, carbon reporting, deal with the legal implications of changes in corporate strategies and business models. We work closely with our Digitalisation and Urban Dynamics specialists to offer the range of decarbonisation legal advice, for example around retrofitting buildings or technological innovation.
