COP26
COP26
COP26 marks a turning point for UK conversations about the climate and law firms across the country are using the climate summit to launch or reinforce their own programmes. Some firms are offering resources to clients and the general public, others are hosting events in Glasgow.
Here are some of the LSA related events we know about plus some links to resource hubs. If your firm is doing something and you would like LSA to profile it please let us know.
You can also catch up on the daily summary podcast produced by Planet Pod in partnership with COP26 Universities Network and the University of Strathclyde below.
