Climate change is the single biggest threat to sustainable development. As this issue becomes more urgent, the role of the international legal community becomes even more important in advancing SDG 13: Climate Action. Law can be a tool for positive change and lawyers have a role to play in tackling climate change. There are legal risks and opportunities arising from the impact of climate change. These impact business operations and society in general. Innovative and leading law firms can lead the transition to a low-carbon economy by helping their clients to identify these. This Guide provides practical advice and actions for lawyers in the fight against climate change.
It is our intention to keep the Chapters as up to date as possible. Please help us to do so by providing feedback or new information which to include in them. Contact us at sdg.legal.initiative@a4id.org
