Net Zero Drafting: Finance – The Chancery Lane Project

November 8, 2021 @ 9:30 am - 11:00 am

From 1st – 12th November, and throughout Pro Bono Week and COP26, we are running a 2021 Net Zero Toolkit Workshop Series, which includes events across a number of key themes: built environment, corporate governance, finance, supply chains and transactions and deals. Each event includes a Climate Clauses in Action (week 1) and Net Zero Drafting (week 2) workshop. This event will be workshopping climate clauses with a focus on finance and how to incorporate net zero concepts into debt and equity financing arrangements.

You’ve set a net zero target (or your client has). Now what? How do you cascade those commitments throughout your contractual value chain?

In this free and collaborative Net Zero Drafting workshop, you will:

  • Learn about ‘net zero’ and what this means for contract drafting. Importantly, you will learn how to use contracts to ensure that targets and emissions reduction requirements align with the Paris Agreement and science based goals of limiting global temperature increase to 1.5℃.
  • Hear about lawyers and organisations from all over the world who are using the power of contract drafting to embed their climate commitments into their value chain. 
  • Build your own plan of action for using and implementing climate clauses in your business or practice, as part of your work towards net zero or more generally as you align your work with climate and environmental considerations.

The workshop is open for both in-house and private practice lawyers of all PQE. Register at the link below.
