What we do

MOBILIZING LAWYERS

We conceive, plan and manage campaigns, publications, and events related to our core mission of mobilizing law and lawyers for climate action. Our experience ranges from crowdsourcing initiatives to high-level conferences, and we are plugged into a broad international network of experts and thought leaders. For example:

• CCC webinar: Mobilizing Nordic Lawyers in the Net Zero Transition

• Annette Magnusson talks about Dispute resolution and the path to Net Zero: How can you play your part? 

• More speaking engagements are listed under Events

INTERNATIONAL INVESTMENT LAW

We advocate for amendment and reinterpretation of international investment law to align with and support global climate goals. Building on our experience in investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS), we conduct research, publish thought-pieces, and speak at conferences and events. For example:

• CCC study: The Energy Charter Treaty, Energy Transition and Climate Change

• Blog post: Regime Interaction in Investment Arbitration: Climate Law, International Investment Law and Arbitration

• Anja Ipp talks about investment law, climate change and regulatory chill at a May 2022 webinar

• Annette Magnusson talks about the Energy Charter Treaty and the Paris Agreement in the 2021 EFILA lecture 

• More speaking engagements are listed under Events

CLIMATE LAW AND BUSINESS

We offer executive trainings, workshops and advisory services to help law firms and companies raise their understanding of climate law and risks – including climate-related disputes and the risk of greenwashing claims if policy is not backed by sufficient action. For example:

• Development of climate and sustainability policies and practices

• Executive trainings on key topics in climate law and regulation. e.g. sustainable finance, energy security, climate risk assessment, and board accountability.

• Advisory services related to disclosure- or other climate-related regulations.

IMPACT LITIGATION

We assist and collaborate with other actors in bringing strategic cases designed to enforce climate obligations, to fulfil climate-related rights, or to raise awareness of the need to balance climate priorities and commercial interests.
