Climate Risk, Resilience & Reputation

The threat of climate change litigation continues to grow as the clamour for responsible action puts increasing pressure on businesses, organisations and governments. A case in point is the landmark judgement in climate change litigation that forced the Dutch Government to expedite the nation’s reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.

Climate policy, law and litigation is developing at increasing pace at sector, regional, national and international levels. Pressure from investors and other stakeholders is mounting. The demand for monitoring, reporting and filing of emissions is increasing and the legal and commercial risks are substantial for organisations and Directors of companies.
