As part of the Cambridge Seminar Series on Law and the Climate Crisis 2025/26, Matthew Gingell will talk about contract law and climate change, with an opportunity for networking afterwards.
Seminar synopsis:
What do contract lawyers do? Commercial lawyers may seem far from climate action, but Matthew Gingell reveals they hold the keys. Contracts govern nearly all economic transactions and shape how solutions cross borders. In this talk, he reframes contracts as the invisible infrastructure accelerating delivery of climate action on the ground.
