Climate governance through a legal lens: lawyers’ insights into what boards need to know about climate and nature
Sign up for this eventLegal Charter 1.5, in partnership with Chapter Zero, is hosting a panel discussion during London Climate Action Week, bringing together non-executive directors, general counsels, senior executives and legal professionals to explore what effective climate governance looks like at board level, with a particular focus on legal and fiduciary considerations.
The panel discussion, followed by audience Q&A and networking drinks, will focus on the critical questions board members should be asking their legal teams, and highlight where legal expertise can offer deeper insight – from navigating evolving regulatory expectations to identifying emerging risks and opportunities related to climate and nature.
Speakers include Vicky Moffatt, Chief Executive at Chapter Zero; Helen Bowdren, Partner at Dentons; Alex Tamlyn, Senior Partner and Board Member at DLA and NED at British & American Investment Trust; Selina Sagayam, NED at The Renewables Infrastructure Group and Sequoia Economic Infrastructure Income Fund; and Wangui Kaniaru, Co-Chair of the IBA Law Firm Management Committee and an Expert Adviser to the Oxford Net Zero Policy Monitor.
