“As lawyers, harnessing creativity and having the ability to draw on best practices from different types of businesses would be instrumental in supporting corporates to achieve climate impact,” shared Kimberly Tan, Head of Investments at #GenZero, when asked about a call-to-action that she hopes to see from #legal practitioners, from a #corporate's standpoint. At the GenZero Climate Summit 2024: Senior Legal Roundtable's Closing Panel ‘Leveraging Legal Practice to Drive Decarbonisation and Climate Impact Outcomes', experts across the legal and investment space, including Peter Grant of Lightrock, Susan Mac Cormac of Morrison Foerster LLP, Jeroen Ouwehand from Clifford Chance and GenZero’s Kimberly Tan, shed light on the legal levers needed to accelerate #decarbonisation, and the need for clear and thoughtful legal mechanisms to pave the next steps forward to scale #climateimpact. Moderated by Louisa Quek from GenZero's legal team, the panellists concurred that lawyers play a crucial role in the drive for greater decarbonisation by balancing between risk exposures of climate investments and achieving positive #climateimpact. Key #takeaways that came through, include: 💡 #Innovation is key — There is a need to innovate present-day legal practices to integrate sustainability into the financial and operative frameworks of climate-focused investments to scale impact. 🔍Clarity of #regulation and greater oversight is needed to enhance accountability of claims — Lawyers play a pivotal role in translating regulation into actionable guidance to ensure greater accountability of claims made by corporates to strengthen investor confidence and attract greater capital flows towards climate projects. This includes putting in place mechanisms to ensure corporates/projects achieve climate impact targets, and developing robust legal frameworks with clarity to drive climate impact outcomes.
