Contracts for the Climate

What would happen if every commercial contract were rewired with the planet in mind? We could make contracts a powerful tool in the fight against climate change. On Contracts for the Climate, we introduce you to The Chancery Lane Project’s (TCLP’s) precedent climate clauses – and help you to get them into your contracts. In each episode, we address one big climate problem. Then we introduce a TCLP clause designed to fix that problem. Join us as we walk through the opportunity presented by each clause, who can use it and how it could slot into a wider sustainability strategy.
