Hello and welcome to Contracts for the Climate from The Chancery Lane Project, the podcast where we introduce you to climate-friendly clauses and help you get them into your contracts.
In this limited series, we’re focusing on the built environment. The real estate and construction industries account for roughly 40% of global carbon emissions. This gives lawyers in these industries significant power to effect change – we want to provide them with the tools to go forth and contract for the climate.
Listen to this short introduction episode to get a feel for what The Chancery Lane Project does, the scope of our Built Environment project and who we’ll be speaking with on the show.
