In 2025, eight leading law firms collaborated with Save the Children Global Ventures to create a groundbreaking agroforestry project in Nandi, Kenya, where climate change is adversely affecting agriculture, and 48% of farmers live in absolute poverty.
The Nandi project unlocks climate finance to deliver improved outcomes for children and young people, increase income for the farmers through mixed farming and cash crops, and deliver greater climate resilience and biodiversity. This approach unlocks high-integrity, low-cost offset credits for the firms over a ten-year period.
The collaborative offsetting programme is based on a robust framework document, developed in partnership with the eight law firms involved, that underpins the 10-year commitment. As we seek to scale the work in Nandi to include more farmers and go from 20,000 to 60,000 hectares, Legal Charter 1.5 and Save the Children Global Ventures are inviting other law firms and networks to get involved.
The LSA is delighted to be able to convene this conversation and invite LSA members to join together to form a new collaboration.
