CCE’s Law and Climate Atlas represented by NZLA
Lara Douvartzidis, Senior Legal Executive at the Net Zero Lawyers Alliance, will speak about projects including the Law and Climate Atlas UK and US, a joint initiative developed by the Centre for Climate Engagement and the Net Zero Lawyers Alliance. The Atlas highlights how climate change intersects with more than 40 areas of law and aims to support the development of practical legal responses to climate challenges. It has received over 20k views. The Net Zero Lawyers Alliance speak at several events during London Climate Action Week, including Lawyers, Bar Associations and Legal Alliances, hosted by the International Bar Association on 25 June from 16:30 to 19:00.
This panel brings together legal leaders from around the world, including representatives of bar associations and legal alliances, to explore how climate change is reshaping legal practice and professional responsibilities. The discussion will examine the role of legal bodies in supporting climate-competent lawyering and consider what further action is needed to equip and empower lawyers as champions of sustainability. Speakers include Steven Richman (International Bar Association), Estelle Dehon KC (Bar Council of England and Wales), Nina Pindham (UK Environmental Law Association), Lara Douvartzidis (Net Zero Lawyers Alliance), and Alasdair Cameron (Law Society).
