Climate change and sustainability are increasingly central issues for governments, regulators, businesses and individuals, particularly in the wake of the Paris Agreement. Climate change is widely seen as one of the biggest threats to a sustainable future, and mitigating and adapting to its effects requires rapid and far-reaching transitions in energy, land and agriculture, banking and finance, cities, buildings, transport and industry. The substantial changes to these sectors, individually and collectively, will impact every commercial, private and public endeavor.
Our global multidisciplinary team works with clients to navigate continually evolving climate change and sustainability policies and regulations across the globe, identifying and exploiting the significant opportunities presented, as well as mitigating and managing risks.
