The year-on-year average temperature in Europe has been progressively increasing over the past decade, reflecting the broader global trend of climate change. In 2018, Europe experienced one of its three highest temperatures on record. It's worth noting that Europe's ten warmest years have all occurred since 2007, highlighting the rapid pace of warming.
Law firms, like all businesses, have a role to play in addressing global warming. This is not only an ethical responsibility, but also a business imperative.
Firstly, clients are increasingly concerned about environmental issues. They want to work with firms that share their values and demonstrate a commitment to sustainability. Law firms that fail to address climate change risk damaging their reputation and losing business.
Secondly, as the impacts of climate change become more severe, they will increase legal risks and liabilities for many businesses. Law firms need to understand these risks so they can advise their clients effectively.
This is such an important topic that we have a webinar dedicated to it. On Wednesday 4th November at 2pm Gemma Graham from Robson Laidler will talk about ESG, Net Zero, Sustainability, and B-Corp: The Future of Business. You can book your free place here.
